I started with a Turbosmart item set @10psi, it dropped a psi in the last 1000rpm which I thought wasn't bad, but then when you go for a quick gear change it would overboost to 13psi for a sec. As my plans were a FMIC,SAFC and 12psi I didn't want the boost to hit 15psi so I got a Profec B, never been happier.

I had a turbosmart bleed "blue type" as my first bleed, this worked ok i spose used to spike to 15 and drop to about 10 psi

I now have a Blitz duel sbc and this is set at 15psi and while it doesnt hold 1 bar it gets to 1 bar quicker and bleeds off slower.

The ebc was almost easier to install then the bleed valve

I'm actually starting to think that i've got a problem with the SBC.

This morning it was on auto mode all fine started to hit 1 bar then I started winding out third and it hit 16psi ?!?!! WTF I thought.

THEN i set to manual mode and set it up right.

First gear 13.6psi.

Second gear 14.7psi

Third gear 15psi.

I'm going to double check everything then get tim @ rpm to check it out then return it if it is dodgy.

I also swear that the EBC does make boost start to come on a little quicker but then it gets up around say 12psi and where with the bleed it would jump to 15psi now it sort of goes up there smoothly. ?!?!

One thing I did notice with the Profec B is with the lo/hi knobs, even if there both set at 12psi, on low I won't get 12psi unless I'm at 100% throttle, but on high I can get 12psi at 40% throttle. It's good for when it rains I guess as you don't have to be shy with the accelerator.

Also with the balance knob you can set boost to drop off, rise or stay the same in the higher rpm.

I must say I have noticed it also.

With EBC's you seem to need more throttle to make more boost where as the bleeds tend to flick up there easier. (Spiking)

I havn't got a balance nob but. I just set the gain lower and it holds boost better up top.

    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
