If you can built electronics i would consider the Jaycar electronic boost controller. For <$200 you have a great boost controller.

Just a little more fiddlier to setup however, once its set how often do you really fiddle with the boost settings.

It has two boost maps that are switchable as well.

The Power FC is not a electronic boost controller (EBC) - it's a total replacement ECU.

However you can get the EBC add-on for the Power FC. Buying the PFC (including EBC addon) and tuning it will leave you little change from $1500.

The e-boost is a dedicated EBC but frankly I'd rather get a JDM one (eg GReddy Profec B-Spec 2, Blitz D-SBC, Apexi AVC-R). These range in price from $450 - $1000.

Budgeting $2000 for an EBC is too much.

I've got an AVCR loving it. Pretty much has 3 stages, off, A & B so its handy, plus holds boost well and gives good readouts as well as functionality.

As one of the other guys pointed out PFC is not boost controller, its total computer that you can buy a boost contoller attachment for if you want.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
