boost control options?

[33HKS]

Hi all,

When my car arrives i plan at some point to increase the boost

I am wondering what would be my best plan of attack. Noting that i wish to have very good control over the boost while i am still running stock turbo. As usual, cost restrictions are in place but i will stretch my funds for the right setup.

1: Buy boost guage and a simple boost controller e.g. turbosmart bleed valve or 2 stage controller

2: Buy AVC-r or similar boost controller and use it as both controller and guage.

I know its up to me in the end, i am just after a few opinions to guide my choice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The Simple way is obviously Option 1.... But i would go with Option 2....The AVC-R etc...Look crazy and will get a better reaction from the girls and boys lol

Up 2 you

I Just had a Turbosmart eBoost fitted today.

Im very happy with it so far.

Lots of features, fully programmable, 3 levels of boost at the press of a button (You set waht you want).

I'm fitting the DIY boost controller from Norgren Phneumatics this weekend, costed $117 all up. I'll let you know if that might be a reliable, cheap option... I think Sydneykid is the man to talk to about this...

Cheers.

I've got E-boost as well

looks schmick and you can run different boost in every gear, dunno if other EBC's let you do this but i think its a pretty cool function

[RbHed]

go ebc....

controls boost better, adjustable from in cabin and boost comes in earlier..

[JimX]

How does an EBC make boost come in earlier?

[Bill]

Stops the wastegate from creeping open a little as boost increases.

Holds it closed until the initial threshold pressure you select is reached.

i had sorta been leaning towards ebc. now to decide between e-boost and avc-r

drifta180,

I have a hybrid EBC, they're cheaper than the rest and do the job beautifully!

[Mase]

hey strich, yeah i saw the hybrid ones advertised. They are a bit cheaper than the others too. I was wondering what experience people have had with them. Good to hear some good reply's back on them. Will be seriously considering one soon i think

AVCR !

Does the e-boost display boost level on the guage as well?

Sorta eliminates the need for a guage an extra cost i thought it did from the pics iv seen of it but i wasnt sure.

They seem a lil cheaper than the avc-r etc? or have i just been looking in the wrong spots?

[Jimbo2000]

yes it does, very handy. more accurate than a secondary guage

any links to the hybrid bc
