bass junky uses it perhaps you could ask him

boost is really a set and forget kinda thing

so im sure its just a little awkward doing the initial setting and then its fine and the even bonus is the hand controller will plot / show boost pressure.

I haven't heard that much bad on the pfc boost controller kit.

Bass junky holds 14psi nice and solid, Steve's R33, HKS3037S & cams made 320rwkw, that held 20 something psi no problems. No tailing off is what I am getting at, cheap ebc's will tend to tail off when the turbo is pushed near its limits.

No problems with mine either.

My stock turbo rb25det came onto boost a lot earlier than before (bleed valve) - made it really nice and responsive around 100km/hr in 5th etc. Good that it works in with the pfc too and held boost as good as the stock turbo could manage.

Will see how it copes with a turbo upgrade over the next week.

I doubt the guys who've had problems have installed/tuned theirs properly - or they have rare defective boost controllers

Cheers

Can some one do a test for me?

Cruise up a hill around peak torque.. Say 3000rpm or greater, while cruising up that hill bring boost up a little and try to hold a constant speed ensuring boost is being made, then flatten it quickly.. Does boost spike?

From my playing with elec auto self learning boost controllers this scenario is where they tend to have issues with a little spiking.

gtst25, so yours dropped a little boost up top?

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
