Hallman Pro Manual Boost Controller
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2008 9:19 pm
Well.. Ive barely had my boost controller on 24 hours and, oh! What a differance!
Installation is straight forward with easy to read instructions covering a variety of cars. (or even better, DLCs guide to installing a Hallman boost controller)
Performance gains noticed immediately, even at stock boost levels. With the stock boost controller (on my car) the turbo would kind of build up to max pressure over a second or so. With the Hallman it is RIGHT NOW. The car also seems to be making more power, even at stock boost levels.
Noise. Not only is the turbo louder, the noise is also higher pitched. A bonus for the sporty "look at me" crowd. I assume the turbo is spooling faster than with the stock controller thus the more noise, higher pitch and improved performance.
Installation Kit. Utter rubbish. Ok yes. this is a generic application Intended for use on a variety of vehicles. HOWEVER. The provided hose was to small, WAY to small. The "T" connector might have fit, if the hose was the right size. The vacume cap was, once again, to small. I ended up scrapping the whole lot and buying my own fittings caps and hose. Which, by the way, was cheaper than the amount spent on the installation kit.
In summery. Two thumbs WAY up for the Hallman Pro Manual Boost Controller. But don't waste your cash on the install kit.
