My Experience With The Boost Controller In My Car Now

[yoshiii335]

Hello

My car has pod, fmic, full turbo back 3inch exhaust with a sports cat, and a stock turbo.

The HKS EVC V that I installed in the car is cool. I have it set to 13.7 psimax incase I get boost creep, that way it hopefully wont ever go over 14 psi. Went out and drove the car to set the settings in the EVC.

I can notice that the car seems meaner lol. It feels like it drives alittle more aggresstively. I dont know if it is me imagining this or if its real lol.

The sound from the exhaust is deeper. It feels different driving it even off of boost. The rpm seems to climb faster and it seems I have a bit more power in lower gears.

The car has a after market bov(the previous owner installed it because the stock one died) and it makes a loud noise when I hit boost now. I dont like that, dont want to attract the attention of cops. I found another stock bov, I might put it on.

So is this usally the changes that come with putting a boost controller on a car?

All this is because the boost controller keeps the wastegate shut until you actually have some boost on board. The original actuator-only setup allows the gate to creep open as soon as boost starts, making it feel soft. EBC = harder feel.
