Ebc Or Turbotech Bc?

[gexenon]

getting a few bolt ons for my GTR soon and i've purchased most of the parts.

Here they are

34 N1 turbs

trust dumps/fronts

PFC

cat

exhaust

JB clutch

bosch 040

sard 700 inj

THe last thing i don't have is a boost controller.

I haven't decieded between the turbotech one ($22) or a EBC.

Can someone explain the pro and cons of both and if the EBC is a better way to go, should i go for the apexi one or somthing else.

Thanks.

bump, anyone?

i've heard alot of good feedback about the turbotech boost vavles, like they come onto boost quicker and there very accurate. but i used to always get told that you should only use EBC's because they dont spike and you can see wat you've set your psi to wihout haveing to drive it and read ur psi off you boost gauge.

id rather the EBC but the cost of them compared to the turbo tech units is a bit much (im still an apprentice) so id get the turbotech boost valve.

dont know if that helps at all . . .

i am running a turbotech on my gtr and it works better than my old

ebc just make sure you have a decent boost guage mounted cos the oem guage aint the most accurate

Anything up to 15 - 18 psi the turbotech will do the job just fine... i have been running it in my car on 10psi for quite sometime without a single spike... but my car is pretty much stock...

For larger power applications and high boost settings, a decent EBC is the way to go... the Greddy Profec II are selling for $390 delivered! Pretty cheap investment for an accurate boost control unit with incabin adjustment and setting...

The other option is to get a larger spring for the turbotech, which will hold high boost better.

Yea that could work... Just use the spring out of a exta heavy duty Bic "click" pen

Ill be using my turbotech for 16 - 18psi with the highflow...

I've seen both on a dyno, and the EBC is obviously better, but the turbotech does a very good job. EBC sat right on the set boost, the turbotech creeped 2psi over 4000rpm, no spiking though and good boost build. Hard to compare that to EBC though cos they were on different cars with different turbos

I've got the Blitz DSBC spec-R and yeah, very happy with it.

i'm aiming for around 18-20 psi. Do i need to upgrade the spring in the turbotech? What are the recommeneded spring tensions?

[QRI05E]

The original spring will be fine at those boost levels... Try it first before stuffing around

Thanks, i will.
