New Boost Controller

[Tangles]

my car came with a turbotech manual boost controller - I could never trust it (via the Apexi boost guage). was too erratic for my liking

parted it out for a 6pack and installed the electronic 2stage Hybrid controller, much better, more stable with no boost fluctuations.

AFAIK my ebc is having an issue holding 1bar with the hiflow turbo due to the stock turbo actuator; will replace it.....

intersting you should say that - I dont know if the EBAY page that I looked at had recently been updated -but I did go there and have a look as to how much the controllers were going for ( as I had my original one maybe 3 -4 years ago ) and on the ebay page he made special mention of a " newly designed hole to prevent boost spike" so maybe he has reviewed his design in later years.

and yes.. tehy are very sensitive to change - so really gotta take care when adjusting it.

Running rich is obviously safer for your motor- so I guess personally I would prefer to sacrifice a bit of power / fuel econ to have a bit more protection for the motor.

But it' not 'good' either. It's uneconomical, dirties the spark plugs and the cat too. Best to keep boost down a little or get a retune.

I suppose its the lesser of 2 evils
