Turbosmart boost controller V's EBC Mon, 27 May 2002 11:14 Go to next message
Hey yall. I know there is a post up asking about pro's and con's of manual & EB controllers. I just wanted to know if anyone had encountered the boost spike problems people talk about when using the cheap $100 manual boost controller that you just set and leave. If so how much of a problem do they cause using about 15 pound. How much better is an EBC?
After boosting staight up to 13 psi using a maual valve I have noticed the boost " die off" a couple of pounds . I was told this was normal and that porting can fix this. Will this "die off" be eliminated by using an EBC.
Whats the going rate for a decent EBC

Cheers guys

Yes that is a common problem with the manual bleed valves!
For a decent "Electronic Boost Controller" that will eliminate this problem your looking at least $800!
There was an article in Hot4's about Boost Controllers that I think JapMotorsport sport tested! Cant remember what issue though! If i looked i could probably find it.

G'day,

i have a manual boost bleed on my 1ggte.

I have none of the problems you are talking bout. my boost hits 14psi then sits there.

By the way the article on boost controllers was also in last months zoom.


Cheers
Stew
