Hi guys just wanted to pick some brains about this one. I'm currently running the HPD manual boost controller but was thinking about making the switch to Dawes and needle valve set up.
Opinions??
Pros and cons
Cheers guys

I haven't used the HPD one, and being a relative novice on diesels I installed the Dawes/needle setup from Mudski and was very simple to install and tune.
So far it's been great, have tweaked it here and there for optimum performance, but it's great being able to control the spool up rate of the turbo. I have mine set to spoil pretty quickly and it's really punchy through the gear changes as a result.
Unfortunately can't compare to HPD, but very happy with the Dawes/needle though!

I have a HPD boost controller on my car as well as a needle valve from Mudski. The Daws and HPD do the same thing which is limit the amount of boost. Adding the needle valve will allow you to control the spool up rate of the turbo which will make the car more drivable.

Just chuck a needle valve in mate and save your coin. Unless its giving you issues, then stay with it...
