^^^ over ten years old and not real stable.

spec-r for the best value for money. The dual solenoid controllers from BLITZ are unrivalled for boost control, the amount of features on the i-color is cool but i never use them so i dont bother with them. Spec-r or IDIII... cant go wrong.

As said above, Blitz ID3 or spec R if you dont want the flashy features of the i-colour. Blitz dual solenoid boost controllers have been tested many times in magazines such as Zoom and have been voted the best for holding boost. I still like the Greddy Profec B 2 though :D All great boost controllers in my books.

something cheap, easy to install, and holds boost well go the gizzmo ebc. i rekon there pretty good. sometimes thay can spike 1psi over. best to overtune your car then drop it down abit though to be 100% safe

they go for like 350

i have had experience with a gizzmo, greddy profec b spec II and the blitz id3. and the blitz is by far the easiest to use and best looking. if your after the wank factor of scramble boost, not all ebcs have them eg: greddy profec b, but i can tell u the blitz and the gizzmo do. hope that helps

HKS EVC 5 is by far of the best performing EBC out in the market today..

But it is also one of the most expensive on the market..

Profec B spec 2 is awesome but it a nightmare for someone to setup if they not used on those them before..

I have personally always used profec B but after all my mates moved to HKS EVC 5.. I am looking to buy 1 myself in the next few weeks..

This would all come down to personal preference. personally ill go the Blitz SBC. it is pricy but then again i dont need to have gauges hanging off everything just to tell me what the car is doing. all in 1 nice neat clear screen.

You could always buy/build the Jaycar kit unit . It works off injector duty cycle which is a far better signal than a map sensor . Have a read of what SK did with his Stagea .

Cheers A .

you can do that with the blitz id series and up, no need though.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
