Boost controller

LafitteZ · 08-04-2011, 12:01 AM

Im a little new to this turbo stuff. I have a gtm twin turbo ordered and I have to decide what boost controller is the best bang for my buck. Im pretty much out of money already but Ill find a way to squeeze some more out if its worth it.

You can just run spring pressure for the time being if you really need to save money, or a less expensive MBC. However, I would go with an HKS unit personally. Makes no sense to drop 10K on a great TT system and skimp on a boost controller.

HKS EVC-S. Nuff said.

I ran without one and had my boost @9psi. Keep in mind that if you have a boost controller, you will be tempted to turn it up more often and this could cause a failure in the car faster (engine, tranny, rear end, etc???).

I agree that HKS is the way to go....if you do.

And just to add, the boost will come on faster with a boost controller. Running spring pressure, it will crack before you hit target boost. It makes boost onset a little less abrupt, but most people with turbos want to get on-boost as quickly as possible.

I have a Blitz SBC ID-3 and I like it. Everyone goes with the HKS. I've heard of no complaints regarding either unit.

Had a EVC 5 in my 350z for 7 years and just moved it to my 370z a month ago, working well.

The SBC ID is another great boost controller. I had one in a previous car, it worked flawlessly. I thought the EVC5 looks a littler nicer, mine is the older one that is silver and lights up with a blue backlight and white letters... the newer EVCs dont light up as nice... I think they are just dim white with black digits like a casio watch

LafitteZ · 08-04-2011, 07:58 PM

yea i think the evc-s will be the best for the buck. thanks fellas. kit will hopefully be in next week. kits take forever to come in. ill post pics when the build id done. z1 is doing it.
