If u hav the spare cash, Blitz i-color, first full color boost controller on the market, it has combined the Blitz Power ID with the Blitz SBC and given it a full color interface display unit...mind-blowing display, if u want something that holds boost well, GReddy Profec B Spec2 or Profec E-01. I've heard the turbosmart ones hold boost well too. The avc-r is not bad, but definitely not the best in holding boost. However, it's easy to use and pretty comprehensive.

BLITZ SBC I-D III

Best Value for Money IMO....

Probably the best on the market next to the New I- Colour but there is around a $500 Price Differance

SBC I-D III -- $ Around 600 Brand New

I-Colour -- $ Around 1K Brand New but has shitloads more Features....

Obviously almost everyone is going to recomend the EBC that they have in their own cars...so I'll do the same :(

I've got a GReddy Profec B Spec II and it does the job for me. It might not have all the snazzy displays of some other EBC's, but it does have most of the functionality that you'll ever need (3 boost settings, gain function, peak hold display, boost warning etc). And most importantly, it holds boost fairly constant through the rev range.

Good value for money :)

Thanks. I tried a search but it wasn't going to be quick...

38 Pages on EBC's :\

I'm leaning towards the boost controller kit for the PFC as it's cheap and has pretty much the same functionality as the AVC-R.

I might add the thing I liked about the Profec B II is the add-on feature you can get with that boost button thingo for the steering wheels :)

I'm going to be using the Turbosmart E-Boost 2 - Apparently, features +++ and controls the extarnal gates NO Problem... So, reviews and peoples experience will be the determining factor I think.... Good Luck in choosing... there is heaps out there.

I second the Jaycar. Its the cheapest and the best.

Make sure you get one that uses the solenoid to completely block off the air flow to the actuator, they work the best in terms of reducing wastegate creep to the lowest possible.

At the moment I have one of those Turbosmart bleed valves..

Would it be an advantage if I got myself an Electronic type boost controller?

If so which would be most suitable Apexi AVC-R, Greddy Profec B II?

I have an Apexi PFC so I was thinking the Apexi AVC-R..

Depends on how much boost you eventually want to run. Above about 1.2 bar you probably should go for a dual solenoid setup - in which case I would recommend the Blitz ID III.

Below that a single solenoid Blitz or an Apexi will do a good job.

Best prices are either from Nengun or Greenline etc.

Gentalman i have an E boost 2 fitted to my r33 with small mods

ok let me say when it was installed it was set too high and i did not like it

but an e mail to turbo smart and no s$% i had a phone call less than 5mins later asking wat was wrong

he told me how to set it

now it is the BEST thing i own, no really it is a boost gauge as well

i can do minor adjustment from my cabin and it holds boost well,

very well + dont need to spend $$$$$ on gauge and they are AUSTRALIAN THEY ARE THE BEST END OF STORY

mine cost me $915 installed but i dont think its needs a dyno straight away it has a 1 to 100 setting 30 is 10psi 40 is 14 psi and so on but only on the 40 psi model.

I am on 30 now 10psi but i can stress enough without taking you for a wrap how user friendly they are

ps i dont work for turbo smart but when you find a good product you tell everyone i think + we should have a thread about good mods so we all no wat is good to buy

How much for the Eboost and how much for a jaycar kit?

I just paid $745 (E-Boost 2)and I'll be doing a self install. So, we'll see how it goes... The Jaycar kit, all up plus an hour or 2 of your time cost about <$150 - although, does it have a "BLING" display like the E-Boost (2)?? :angry:

Also, you'll need a boost gauge and that can be anywhere from $80-$$$$$.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
