Boost control

Akrobatik · 07-06-2015, 12:17 PM

Does anyone here use the HKS EVC-S Boost Controller? Was wondering how well it works and if your tuner ran into any issues with it on the dyno. Also if someone recommends any other Boost Controllers shoot away.

I am running the TurboSmart E-Boost 2 and am very happy with it.

From some quick reading, the HKS seems to be a good unit but the instructions are incomprehensible and the manufacturer support and warranty is almost nonexistent.

I have the HKS EVC-S and the first time i tune my car the tuner couldn't figure out how to dial it in. I had to find info on other forums to figure out the different parameters and then drive the car a few times to make sure it hit the boost i was looking for and then tune it again. Although a pain it is a great boost controller.

I have a GFB G-FORCE 2

Not a single problem so far, highly recommended, especially for the price.

Sorry bro don't have the exact website i just google it and found a supra forum where someone explain what each parameters meant and what to do first. If you decide to get one i will be more than glad to help!

Honestly, ask your tuner what HE feels most comfortable tuning with. That's more important than a feature here or there.

Unless you are doing the tuning the only thing you will do is select low/high boost or off.

We tend to stick with the Turbo Smart EBoost2 (as previously mentioned) or the Greddy PROfec.

Running a Turbosmart E-boost Street 40psi. Extremely easy to use and setup. About half the cost of the rest of them too.
