The boost controller is just a two way switchable valve. Works on similar principle to boost jets, and you can switch between two levels from in the car. Couple of Aussie guys have them that I know of, work fine, but not with the many features of an electronic boost controller, obviously.

The BOV's are Turbosmart type I which are a bit iffy. If memory serves (I considered buying them at one stage) they are recommended for engines at or below 1500cc. Since we have each turbo essentially pumping to 1500cc, they could be used. However, I looked at them in real life and they are soooo small..... real little things about as long as your index finger and twice the width. I decided not to get them. Pretty sure the type II's are ok, but I eventually went with Rapid BOV's from Unique Autosports [ www.300zx.com.au ]

The Turbosmart website is [ http://www.turbosmart.com.au/ ] btw
