Benji,
Here is site that can give a good overview of what's out there: http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.ph ... c11de8bdb1

I use a Turbosmart boost controller... others use: TurboXS and Hallman for manual.

The electronic one that I've looked into is the Turbosmart e-boost controller. Lots of options, but $$$$.

What ever controller you go with call and see for a local dealer, i found one within 1/2hr of me... paid cash...

Benji, any controller that bleeds off air will permit a boost spike over the desired pressure. A better way to go to control boost is a adjustable spring arangement pulling on the wastegage or accuatior. This will prevent any overboosting. Many of the bleedoff controllers will see 5# more/less, depending upon the amount your bleeding off. Not good to say the least. The adjustable spring takes time to build, but is well worth it.

Unless it is an HKS electronic boost controller that learns, like the one I use.
It will flat line the boost from one end to the other in a drag race.

I have a turbosmart dual stage gated boost controller for sale $100, can be seen on boostcontroller.com

 

[4strokes are better than2]

what do you mean by flat line ted.

 

[Ted Jannetty]

If I set it for 12 psi it will go there and stay there from one end of the track to the other, no up and down.

Sorry I see everything in graphical form.

 

[ProstockBenji]

Ted , what is this boost controller worth ? sound like the right controller ! do you sell them ?

Benji

 

[Ted Jannetty]

Yes I sell them but they are scary expensive 600.00.
HKS EVC II with Liquid crystal diplay.

 

[Travis Moore]

You can get the HKS EVC2, which is the same boost controller without the LCD display for about $380 bucks.

thanks to all !!!

boost

I think the controller with a Lcd screen would be the way to go, I have seen as much as a 5 lb. spike with my turbo-x before it settles down. This seems to be when I have it on the higher settings....

A while ago I read a test on a whole range of boost controller in Turbo magazine. It seems the best bang (perhaps not the best term here lol) was the home depot (homemade) manual boost controler. I run one on my Talon and it is dead steady with absolutely no spike. Now, obviously, this type provides zero data requisition unlike the one Ted is talking about.

FYI I bought all the parts to build mine at home depot..it was like $14 I think.
