This is pretty well covered all over SAU mate, have a search and you shall find...

I've run a few on my car, currently a Greddy profec 2 and it does the job

[abr33]

e boost street does a good job too

[XKLABA]

I've had e boost, never again, HKS EVC

You generally get what you pay for

[Piggaz]

Blitz duel solenoid ID 3..

[SargeRX8]

I use a greddy profec b spec 2. Pain to setup but I old boost quite well.

Not always true, I had a HKS EVC and it was the most unreliable POS on the planet, it was replaced by the Greddy and the car now has a better boost curve...

Anyone had experience with GFB? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160920792394?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

That's right thats why I said generally, I have two EVCs now ( 4 & 5 ) and never had an issue, but both came up at good prices when I needed something, so either I've had a good run or your one had an issue, who knows but I know I'd wouldn't ever go the e boost, I spent hours setting up and CRD tried and no matter what we did it wouldn't catch how quick the 32 came on boost, fitted the EVC and with no setting it up had no more problems, been in car for 8-9 years so far

ive noticed alot of people running greddy profec ebc's are they way to go, hold boost like they should?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

eBoost = great, but overpriced considering it's is just using a MAC valve

Profec = great, decent is price, uses the same MAC valve as most controllers

EVC = awesome, stepper motor holds boost well

Blitz Dual Spec-R = awesome, dual solenoid holds boost so flat you could put a ruler on it

Turbosmart Dual stage = junk, awesome spike

Turbosmart Single stage = junk, awesome spike

A mate had plenty of issues with the original series, in saying that i believe the retard tuner was partially to blame!

^ true story, my 180 came with one, first mod was to remove it and sell it. Then my current shitbox came with one, removed it the first day I got the car, and sold it on eBay.

Biggest croc of shit on the planet, essentially it's just a pos bleed valve with a solenoid to enable the bleed or not.. total shit, however their external gates are good. They should stop making boost controllers LOL

A gate technically controls boost, so therefore would be a boost controller?

+1 for Eboost street, also good for vct switch on 2530 conversion

thanks for your advise guys appreciate it. I'm thinking i might go with the Greddy ebc that option seems good value for cost.

I have researched before but it is easier to ask the question and get direct answers instead of sifting through junk on the net.

thanks for the help matt.

You should be right with the Greddy...
