Boost Controller Er34

[rb2534]

Just collecting up the last bits I need for my car before I start modding it. I will be running Power FC + Handset, FMIC, 650cc Injectors, HKS 25/30 turbo, Exhaust and Fuel Pump. I have heard so many different opinions from people as to what boost controllers to run but I am trying to maintain a relatively standard looking bay (exception been the FMIC and filter which isn't a real big issue) and dont want to have any lines and valves running all over the place especially with some known Jap brands plastered all over them as the cops in Adelaide seem to be real pricks with these skyline at the moment. And yes a bleed screw would stick out but if it would be a lot easier to hide out of sight than a control unit mounted in the bay or a controller in the glove box or under the dash. I'm not even planning on having the hand controller in the car when driving around as I am aiming to keep the car looking mildly modified and having that stuff hanging out on display would only add fuel to the fire.

My question is do I really need to run a fancy pants boost controller like a Blitz or even the Power FC units you can buy if my aim is to hit 220-230rwkw and leave the car as is. I don't intend on winding any more boost into it or start mucking around with it once the car is tuned as it is my daily.

The cost of the actual unit isn't the issue but would a simple bleed screw be ample or will it cause issues like boost spiking or cause problems with the PFC? I am also running a HKS adjustable actuator on the turbo if that information helps.

Also any feedback as to what set ups people have run successfully will be welcomed

A electronic Boost controller will hold a constant boost setting better without fade over the rev range.

For peice of mind get a Greedy unit less the $400.00

You will get better performance over the rev range..

The turbotech boost tee which is used widely on this forum has great performance. Everyone I speak to recommends it. The only advantages to an electronic boost controller that I know of is that you can have multiple boost settings and you can get it to build boost faster (my old eboost could).
