There are particular thresholds for everything before a cert is needed in NZ. The boost controller for one is not a cert item.As for insurance, if your car should have a cert then insurance would have grounds to not pay if you didnt have one. But on top of that if you modify your vehicle and havent notified the insurer of this then it will also not be covered, whether they chose to not cover just the mods or void you insurance in an event is really up to them.

I would have thought a tune would be better than a boost controller....Boost controllers work great on these (electronic). Measuring MAP is the best method to control boost as far as I'm aware.A tune can only do so much given the parameters available in the boost table (MAP not being one of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riptide Member 733 Member For: 13y 8m Gender: Male Location: Auckland, New Zealand Posted 02/05/12 08:33 AM Share Posted 02/05/12 08:33 AM I agree, tune first. After it's tuned you use the boost controller. Mine ran up to 420kw at about 20psi with good afr's before I fitted the boost controller set at lower boost.
