Turbosmart E-boost what a difference!!

[morlock]

Woohooo.... well finally got around to having my bleed valve setup swapped for a turbosmart e-boost controller. All I can say is this thing rocks and BD4s did a great install job, I also changed my faulty ignition coils and the car now revs like a demon.

Main difference I have noticed is how fast it builds boost now and I haven't experienced any spiking or boost pressure loss at higher rpms.

I also swapped my crappy simota pod for a HKS superflow for better airflow.

How much did the Turbosmart E-Boost cost to purchase and also to have fitted if you don't mind me asking ?

whuts the diameter? if u put it in a pillar mount would look good

[Guest RedLineGTR]

oh nice...like someone said before hide it somewhere where its not too visible to thieves..since its electronic it shouldnt spike (if setup properly) there isnt too much need to view the screen so much as using a bleed valve. Looks shmick, good that your happy with the preformance

So does the boost come on quicker and smoother??

And does it hold boost alot better??

I noticed the other day my boost gauge read 14 psi when its set at 11 psi.

So now im out to get a EBC. More money!!!

Yup I found out a few weeks back that my dual stage isn't holding boost so I might just hold off until I get a PowerFC and get the boost controller with it.

Hi Guys.....Yeah I know that it is pretty vulnerable to thieves on the a-pillar....this car isn't my daily driver so it's not that big a deal, but i was thinking of just putting a black sock over it if i'm in a bit of a dodgy area.

I used to get spikes up to 14.5 psi with the bleed valve (boost set to 12psi), but with the eboost I don't get any spiking and yes it is much faster and smoother delivery.

The unit is larger than your average boost guage and would need a large pillar mount to fit...not too fussed about this though.

The unit cost $749 inc gst and was about 2 hours labour to fit (about $150)
