There a good bit over a typical gauge. The one ill be running has to be wired to the ECU with two wires (not all boost controllers are like that). Then power to the gauge, then the harness goes to the stepper motor that controls the boost (that's mounted in the engine bay), and then from there you have to run three series of vaccum lines ( intake, wastegates, and turbos). The two wastgates and turbos have to be T tapped with the vaccum lines. Also making them as short as possible. So location of the stepper motor is somewhat important but not a big deal. Just depends on which company you buy from. Mine is a HKS EVC. It's more advanced.

thanks. that doesn't sound too crazy. i've done a mbc install on my volvo and it just sounds like the harness is the only "extra" part in the equation of an ebc over and mbc. if someone isn't changing boost on the flyt or switching maps, is there and advantage of an ebc over an mbc?

For myself I've always been lead to believe that EBC are better. I'm getting the HKS EVC due to the tuneability of it and the way it reads several parameters to monitor boost. And along with the nice display it comes with.

Its always a good idea to run gauges no matter how great you think your tuner is. You never know when something can go wrong. I'd always pay a little bit more to have a piece of mind knowing my car is running the way it should be.

Agreed. Even with the GTM tune, which is supposed to be very safe and somewhat conservative, I will only use that until I have my gauges and the cash for a custom tune on a dyno
