Plenty of threads on boost controllers, but nothing on the new Jap spec EVC6, and nothing comparing these two specifically, so figured I'd give this a crack.

I need a boost controller for my Stagea. ECU will be a HKS Fcon V Pro, turbo just a high flow. I've already upgraded fuel pump and an adjustable FPR. I'm slowly doing all the supporting mods before I get the high flow and tune the ECU, and one of those is the boost controller.

I'm looking at the HKS EVC6 and the Turbosmart EBoost 2. Main thing is that it does a good job and is relatively easy to setup. I like the fact that I can tune boost by RPM or speed on the EVC using EasyWriter, but I'm not sure how practical that is. Just seems to cater for more expansion later.

I don't currently have a boost gauge.

Anyone got experience with one or both of these? Any particular issues with the solenoid and the actual boost control?

go the evc6, I had a turbosmart eboost and it was to slow to catch how fast the car would come on boost and would go into warning mode and turn off boost, I tried everything I could then gave it to CRD and still would do it, so I put a HKS EVC in and straight away it worked properly and no more issues

I chose an EVC 5 as I have read they are reliable

And a couple of mates swear by them.... The EVC 6 is very similar, the stepper motor is smaller, you get a pretty colour screen and I think 3 or 4 boost settings..... I find it hard to justify the extra $200 for little....

BUT, haven't really had a proper experience, my car is on the dyno now, tuner is happy, so I assume it's all good

Thanks for the feedback guys.

So am I correct in thinking so far the EVC is the better unit, and the stepper motor on the EVC is better than the solenoid on the eboost2?

I'll have another look and see if I want (and can justify) the extra features of the 6.

eBoost is overpriced. It just uses a pretty typical valve, similar to MAC valves. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same thing just with eBoost stickers all over it. Have a look on eBay and you'll see similar yumcha spec boost controllers using identical valves. Even the PowerFC boost kit uses the same valve (I owned one so I can comment) I thought it wasn't that great for the money, honestly a turbotech ball bearing valve could have done the same job, my friend with the Blitz Dual Solenoid would hold boost flatter then the PowerFC boost kit could ever.

For the same money get a Blitz Dual Solenoid one OR like you mentioned baller spec EVC6 with a stepper motor

See the resemblance?

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
