What Boost Controller?

[JAS-25T]

What boost controller do you use,

be it mechanical/electronic.

what brand and what type

dual boost or single?

cabin controlled?

im thinking of buying a simple inline turbo xs one, if you have any opinions on this brand???

[HKSgtst]

if you wanna get an EBC, get the latest HKS EVC ..

[AutoTrust]

I have a Blitz DSBC it has 4 settings and other features its a bit hard to set up but better than the bleed valve i had

If you want the best value for money get Greddy Profec-B, satisfaction guaranteed, but if you are into hairstyles than go Profec-E or Apexi.

Yea I'd go with profec B,

relatively cheap for a EBC and does its job

unless you're going for 2 Bar and beyond

then you might need something more, like the profec E

[JAS-25T]

nah im looking more for a bleed valve

yep, i'm happy with my profec-B. boost levels are kept relatively even after hitting full boost.

if you want bleed valve the best one is gfb because they dont spike but check with you installer for more info

[cameron]

any one useing a AVC-R ?

are they good ?

[Whoneedstherapy]

speaking of electronic boost controllers, has anyone heard anything bad about the new Trust profec B spec 2's??

[MiSTER2]

If the one you are talking about is the one with blue screen and the more compact one. My mate just had it installed to his my03 sti and he's happy with it.

[BusterUK]

Got one of these, Apexi AVC-R works fine but needs some getting used to on the button pushing.

[Parag0n]

My GTR has a Greddy Profec-B

Hey JAS, if you're after a cheap alternative check this site out;

http://www.autospeed.com/A_0670/cms/article.html

It's a DIY boost controller, works the same as electronic boost for only $120 odd...

I've had no problems with it, holds boost very well and is easy to adjust... You could have it cabin mounted if you wanted as well!

They've put out an upgrade to it as well, let me know if you have any questions.

yeh i hated it.

I would spike to 1bar almost every time in 1st and second and would take until 5000rpm in 3rd to reach .8bar which was full boost.

i swaped it for an old style single stage controller from turbosmart.

might just be MY car tho

:flamed:

I am damn sick of people and their opinions on the AVCR, have you people that think its just a fancy screen even used one before?

Go have a look at most of the top times for japanese cars and look what boost controllers they are using, APEXi is not a small nor un-advanced company

They produde amazing electronics, and this one happens to have a 'blow away the compition' screen that comes with it, the screen is amazingly functionable and helps with alot of the controll

the SAFC has the exact same screen.. i dont hear people paying it out for its 'rice' screen.

it is a great EBC, ive helped a few friends use it, and ill be getting one in a few weeks

[Evil]

well spoken knore I'm getting an avcr put in today (screen is going in the glovebox to prevent theft)

I've seen that a few times too.

the turbosmart ones spiking hard etc.

I'd personally steer clear of them. A few people i know have had them... and ended up unhappy and sold them
