I don't know much about the different brands of EBC's out there but am looking to buy a new one. I have a tial 38mm with a 15.9lb spring with my he341 holset and RB20det. The wastgate can be heard opening at around 10lbs and and creeps to 15lbs high in the rev-range.

I would like to find an EBC that I can adjust gain and get the 15psi earlier and faster.

From my understanding a good EBC will improve mid-range boost levels and subsequently HP/Tq

I know they have gotten to the point where they will need certain wires spliced form the ecu. I am not looking to spend over 350$ but I would like to know what you guys think works good with the RB's.

What kind of ecu do you have? Your best bet is to get a Mac valve controlled by the ecu if it is capable.

Like this:

KiwiRST4 - I am running Nistune, ECU was too old to add the feature pack apparently.

GTSBoy - That's what I figured, wasn't sure if there was one that was more compatible with the RB wiring.

Having said that what's the best bang for your buck module?

innovate have the afr/boost controller combo that you can connect with nistune.

You want something at least dual solenoid.

Blitz EBC, HKS, Greddy etc.

Apexi is not dual, don't waste money on them as for the price the other above are far better value (and will work better)

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
