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)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • 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.
