Can anyone tell me the difference between a boost controller and a dawes valve ?
Sorry guys, I just read through the forum and answered my own questions
For other who are searching and found this thread, the difference is the Dawes is used for Variable Vane Turbo's which are vacuum controlled turbos and do NOT have a wastegate, like the ZD30 Patrol, 2.5Ltr Navara, Tritons etc etc. The boost controller the OP has shown is commonly used for any other setup that uses a boost pressure controlled waste gated turbo. Like a TD42, RD28, ZD30 Navara etc etc.
same reason we don't need a boost and vac gauge only boost, if you get a boost/ vac gauge and try to fit it using supplied instructions it will run in vac and only spike into the boost zone occasionally if your lucky.
