Product Overview
Turbosmart All New Boost Tee Manual Boost Controller Black
The All New Boost Tee by Turbosmart is a facelift on the tried and tested Boost Tee you’ve come to love. Now featuring a 33% smaller and more ergonomic design, the All New Boost Tee incorporates all the same functionality that makes it a crowd favourite including our unique Gate Feature for maximum boost response, anti-tamper locking feature and simple use.
The Boost Tee is a pneumatic bleed valve which allows an increase in boost on turbocharger systems where boost-based actuators are used and is suitable for use on both internal and external wastegate systems. By manipulating the reference signal to an internal wastegate actuator or external wastegate, an increase in boost over and above the base spring pressure can be achieved. It is common to achieve 100 - 200% increases in boost over the base spring pressure.
Using our proven detent system, the controller can increase boost in defined steps and the locking mechanism allows the boost level to be set & secured from tampering.
Manufactured in Australia from High-Grade Brass and Billet Aluminum, the All New Boost Tee by Turbosmart is a simple, elegant and robust solution which can be relied on for simple boost control & maximum response. The All New Boost Tee by Turbosmart is the best value upgrade for your Turbocharged engine!

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the first rule of boost control?
Ensure you have an over-boost cut-out.This is a safety feature built into basically all factory, aftermarket & programmable ECU’s. Make sure it is set at a sensible & reasonable limit. Increasing the boost will put more load on your engine, and there are other tune-related factors you must always consider. IF in any doubt, speak with a professional tuner/calibrator.
Can I use this on any turbocharged engine?
If your engine is turbocharged and uses a boost-based actuation then yes. The All New Boost Tee by Turbosmart will work on any Boost-Based Internal Wastegate Actuators and External Wastegates. It will not be suitable for VGT (Variable Geometry) Turbochargers, also known as VVT (Variable Vein) and VNT (Variable Nozzle) or Vacuum-Based Actuators.
How Much Boost can I add?
The maximum boost you will be able to make will come down to other variables with your setup. Turbocharger efficiency must be respected and as such as you start to work a turbocharger harder and towards the limits of its efficiency, boost can be harder to achieve. With that said, on an otherwise efficient setup you can expect to be able to achieve 1-2 times the base mechanical spring pressure as fitted to your actuator or wastegate.
What is the Turbosmart Gate-Feature?
Gate-Feature is a technology built into all Turbosmart Boost Controllers which promotes boost response and is a process of manipulating the reference signal for maximum gains. There is no other way to achieve such aggressive boost curves than the Turbosmart Gate Feature.
Can I disable the Gate Feature?
Yes. If maximum boost response is not what you’re after you can disable this feature. Refer to the technical drawings & instructions as you will need to remove the ball and spring on the inlet side of the All New Boost Tee.
Is the arrow on the All New Boost Tee Important?
Yes. This Arrow indicates the direction of flow of the reference signal (compressed air from the charge pipe or turbocharger) to the actuator. The Arrow direct must be respected & fitting the All New Boost Tee backwards will result in boost control problems and instability.
Can I turn my boost down?
No. The All New Boost Tee by Turbosmart is designed to assist in increasing the boost pressure above the base spring pressure. If you are looking to decrease boost pressure then you may need to change the spring within your actuator or external wastegate.
Is one click one PSI?
No. One click either up or down on the All New Boost Tee is not one psi. The actual change per click will be specific to your vehicle and your setup. The efficiency of every setup is different and as such the changes are not identical from vehicle to vehicle. We recommend making small changes at first to understand your setup first and foremost.
