GI: Guardian Angel (Overboost Protection)

[Fobio]

I'm thinking about making this mandatory for everyone that I tune locally. It's good insurance.

[JTMS3]

Add me to the wish list.

[rfinkle2]

I just noticed this thing is good up to ~45 psi? LOL.

[mrmonk7663]

I'm down for one Lex.

It's a 4 Bar map sensor - so 40 psi That should cover most people however unless you're driving a diesel truck.

[Gringo East]

I definitely want one! This is sweet, it would put my mind at ease.

[mtlms3]

In.

Do you have any left of those 7?

I am currently having a heck of a time with overboosting that the dealer is blaming on my Forge . . . funny thing is that I only overboost when I am running stock tune (AP uninstalled for dealer visit).

[starscream]

TBH I dont think he has many if any left. Its more of a GI. I know I tried to get in on one and unsure if I 100% am...and I was one of the first to respond. lol

Keep the list going folks. I have already started the ordering process for 30 more. For those of you who have contacted me and are receiving the initial units, expect invoices to go out the week of the 20th. The same week is when the initial units will be ready to ship.

My pos hks failed me at just the right time for this.

[zpele]

@Lex why don't these work with the HKS? I must have missed the knowledge train.

Not that is matters, but doesn't 4 bar = 58 psi?

[pebenito]

Don't forget that 1 bar is atmospheric pressure, so it measures 3 bar of boost.

Duh, gotcha... 44 psi then lol

IIRC HKS is a "push" type BPV so it needs PSI to actually open the valve. GA works with pull type valves that when boost is removed from the top of the valve it opens. I may have that term exactly backward The only thing GA can currently do is block the boost signal from the top of the BPV thus allowing the boost in the charge pipe to force the valve open.

[Veniversum]

Don't add me to the list since I have 2 months before getting my car once I leave afcrackistan.

However, once I start doing my mods this is something I would love to have from day 1, along with a damn occ.

Count me in... $180 for more safety.... You would be stupid not to buy this thing.

Im going to be in England until March 9th. I will try my best to keep up with this so I dont miss out. Picking up a FMIC and TB exhaust here soon. PERM tune and this should go well together.

I am interested in this item.

[Lex]

Thanks for the great interest guys. 30 more are on the way. I will have a lot more info + feedback from the initial group while the next batch is being made. I have been out of town the last few days so this is why I haven't been around much.

Dano explained it correctly above. The HKS is designed so that boost in the charge pipe seals the valve. The GA needs the BPV to relieve the charge pipe pressure while there is pressure in that charge pipe. Since the HKS type valves are sealed by boost alone, the GA can't open these while pressurized. You may also notice that with an HKS you might get a bit more compressor surge due to their design.

[spnkr21]

I get a lot of surge with my hks.

[Lex]

Yeah, that's the shortcoming of that design and why it's not used in OEM applications.

[spnkr21]

I think it's exaggerated with bt and part throttle aswell.

[Sid3wayS]

Thats why I got rid of mine... Ive always had some surge with it but lately after installing my ets tm it got ridiculous.
