i have done a bit of searching on this topic but everyone has different opinions. my question is

is a profec b or ebc similar worth it or not. im going to be running a atr43G3 with a high pressure actuator from hypergear. i also have a turbotech boost T. now im not going to be looking at switching boost levels and just leaving it at one pressure. would i be best just using the T and bleeding a few psi and using the actuator to do most of the work?

i think ebc's are just if you want to run various boost levels

they can bring boost on earlier by blocking pressure with a solenoid but the turbotech controllers are supposed to do that too

The profec B also doubles as a boost gauge ;)

I passed the pits fine with my profec B and the control unit is on top of the steering column so not exactly hidden.

As for bringing boost on earlier, I fail to see how a spring and a ball can do that better than a solenoid which is either open or closed.

Yes it is, allows the turbo to come onto boost a tad earlier than a ball bearing valve

EBC > Ball Bearing Valve > Bleed Valve

In the past, to bring on boost a tad earlier, I would set the gain on the EBC so it would actually spike a tad over my desired boost levels. This brought on boost nice and strong and earlier, also added the advantage of various boost settings. Great for when you lead your car to someone or letting a female drive it.

yeah all this info i have read i dont need a boost guage i already have one and for boost coming on a little earlier doesnt bother me to much as its a street driven car

Street driven car and you're not fussed about response? I'm running an ATR43G2 which is brought on a little earlier by a Greddy Profec II, and I find it too laggy.

letting a female drive it.

:laugh:

well yes and no to response but what a few hundred rpm ealier doesnt bother me if i want the response off a set of liights i would launch with higher rpm

Lag is lag. I thought the same thing when I decided not to go ball bearing. But a few hundred rpm better response would be very welcome now.

yeah i see what your saying i drove a mates vlt around for a month or so with a rb30 with a gt35/82 so i soon got used to the lag haha

but i see exactly what you are saying i might stick to bleeding off a few psi see how i go if i get sick of the lag ill go a ebc

dont bother its just more electronic BS to f**k up...

Spemd the money on cocaine and hookers :)

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
