It can handle a much larger range of turbos and could be run open in 3rd to reduce backpressure and increase power over an internal setup.
I do have a RJC controller and I placed it a few inches away from the Turbo.I didn't think I needed to install it down near the crosspipe.My story is that I had a 60-1 Turbo and Eastern Performance put the Racegate on.The 60-1 was a laggy terrible Turbo even for the 12 Inch stock modified D5 3000.I switched to the TE-44 and after that the boost controller from the inside the car never worked again.Maybe the different Turbo's???Im not sure why I can't control boost.I don't run more then 17-18lbs of boost anyway so thats not the problem.The TE-44 was a better,funner Turbo that spooled quicker but no where near like a stocker.Precision told me to get rid of the Racegate and go with a THDP.Im not sure what my next step is.I do not think it is the chip though.Others have said a 3200 will wake it up.
