Gtr Boost Control

[FLY12N]

Time to choose a boost controller for my R33 GTR.

Does anyone use just a simple boost tap? Or is it not a done thing? (I was thinking about using the TurboXS Hi-Po one)

This is my first twin turbo set up so I'm not really down with what people use. I've used an eboost on my previous car but I felt it was a waste of money as I never changed the settings/used the features.

I don't need to turn it up and down regularly or switch between different settings, just hold the one setting sufficiently (20psi).

What are your thoughts peeps? What do you use?

Cheers.

I dont run one... and plenty of other cars (all racepace customers) dont either

You cant say they lack response due to gate creep or anything that a EBC sometimes might alleviate

Maybe head down, have a chat and save yourself some money?

I never planned to run one with 20psi... although im stuck @ ~ 12.5psi for a while until i find money

Infact, with the 4 different setups ive had in 5 years... ive never used a EBC once now i think about it

I run the latest HKS EVC, its awesome. Has 2 boost settings that you can tune.

Same. Very happy with the EVC it has been fantastic to this point, although it is pricey.

Im with nismoid. i had one. i set the boost and then never bothered to touch the thing again. my new setup will be 100% controlled by the wastegate.

+ 1 for HKS EVC version 6

bout 600bux though so not cheap

Yeah I use one of the $20 options that was recommended on here, that guy that was making them.

Holds 20psi everyday flawlessly so I don't see a need for anything else, I don't need real time flashy bar graphs or any bs like that.

So I would recommend one of those, search for $20 boost controller should come up with the thread. Otherwise if your a poser a HKS EVC *runs*

Any of you recommend the APexi Avc-R Electronic Boost Controller?

Nup, dual solenoid or nothing in my book

+1 for Racpace style controller.

Simple and effective.

Spend your money on other mods.

Do they still use the standard boost solenoid with a different restrictor or is it boosted solely off the wastegates?

I use A Greddy Profec 2....

Is that dual solenoid ?

They turf the standard solenoid, apparently they are prone to failure.

Yeah thats what I was thinking of using. The price is right and the feedback is good. Don't need to look at gauges and fancy shit, gotta watch the road! Was just curious as to if they were just as good with a twin turbo setup.
