Boost Control? to go Electronic or not?

generally speaking, electronic are better because it's usually minimises spiking and you get the ease of adjusting the boost in cabin. You also get other little extras (depending on the EBC) like overtake boost (or scramble mode), boost readings etc. When setup right, they are great and worth the money in my opinion, however you do get the odd people that either dont set it up right or just have trouble without explanations and go to the cheaper bleed valve and have 100% success. But if the budget stretches, i reckon it's worth it, since a second hand EBC can be picked up between $300 - $400 (again depending on brand).

I learnt the hard way

Turbo Smart single stage = Bad spiking(read 4psi) and did'nt hold boost good(read 2psi up and down)Now this to me means it's a pile on shit and should'nt even be put on a tractor!

Greddy Profec B = Orsam boost control with no spike(depends how you set it) and yer just orsam.Best $290 I ever spent.

Check out the autospeed pneumatic setup.. It works well and is fairly cheap.

OR.. mod your actuator bracket or rod to allow boost adjustment that way.

My bleeder that was a home-brand job never used to spike BUT it used to drop boost in the higher rpm's. It only allowed an extra 2.5psi extra over what the actuator was rated at.

I had a bleeder and did a dyno run recording boost, then installed the HKS IV and did another dyno run. The curves for boost were identical.

Having said that, the electronic boost controller does give you ease of adjustment, hi/lo settings, scramble mode and a boost gauge.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
