M35 Boost Gauge Install - Stealth

The cover closes to retain factory finish.

That is where my Greddy ProfecB spec 2 boost controller is going.

That's a great spot for it Andy. I had a quick search but couldn't find the dimensions. I hope it fits as there's less room when the cover is down than it looks. I had to remove part of the lid (not visible when closed) to allow for the gauge mainly because it's angled towards the driver's seat. If it was flat it may not have needed too much cut out. I filled the hollow bit with expanda foam then plastibond.

Does the GReddy EBC do anything different to the Jaycar IEBC for <$100?

Shows boost, so I can get rid of my other boost gauge, and they are meant to be one of the best at bringing on boost earlier. Will let you know the verdict next week.

Also records various boost function ie; max boost

thats where my emanage is lol

Ahh, that is cool. Keen to hear what you think after you've tested it.

I thought your Emanage was where the DVD player was, or does it take up the whole space?

The greddy unit will actively monitor the boost level and make adjustments to the solenoids duty cycle to try and maintain a set boost pressure.

The jaycar unit does not, it is simply a 2D map of load vs duty cycle. So for a certain load point the solenoid will operate at the set duty cycle. Load point is taken from an injector output from the ecu, so as injector duty cycle rises so does the jaycar units load.

I found the jaycar unit to be quite good at it's job while I was still running the stock turbo, not so good once i changed to a larger one.

Just a note. Expect to spend a long time setting up the profec. I had one in my celica, works well once setup and the overboost cut out is very good to have.

That's good to know, thanks Josh. I have one assembled & ready to go in my car (still stock turbo). If it gets hi-flowed or changed down the track I may need to swap out the Jaycar controller. No big deal as it's very cheap. I chose it because it got rave reviews & it fits my DIY mandate .
