Boost controllers?

[shoemaker617]

Im shopping for one, which ones work the best? All input greatly appreciated.

manual boost controllers are the cheapest and can be just as effective as electronic boost controllers. i think some people some how mess up their mbc to cause it to spike so much; all i see an ebc as is bling factor

electronic is the most reliable.

MBCs tend to fail, and BOOM goes your engine.

 

[shoemaker617]

Thats what I figured, an EBC would give you more precision. Any brand names recommended??

 

[Steven.]

any name brands are good

no body i know has had a mbc fail. worst comes to worst you'll over boost a couple pounds before you notice you're overboosting.

you should have boost cut enabled.

i dont have good management (vafc2), so i dont have it. which is why i am re-building my engine and going with a hondata unit most likely

 

[Steven.]

hondata is over priced.
i think its BS you have to PAY EXTRA for boost options.
there are much better options

chipped ecu(Crome, Uberdata, Neptune) or standalone is the best way to go.

yeah but how am i going to get my car to pheonix? i was going to have somebody at tokyo speed pros do my s**t but i realized i cant really find anybody to tow me up there with out charging me out the a*****e. i dont know, i dont like the idea running my car on a basemap after i rebuild my engine so ill see.

i might be able to help you out on getting your s**t towed. i have a friend thats going to let me borrow her truck so i can tow it to locash. ill ask her if i can borrow her truck to help you out, you just have to find someone that has a trailer, or rent one from uhaul for like $30
