which boost controller are you running? do you like it. which one would you buy if you had the money?

reXer

I use my factory boost control solenoid which is controlled by my aftermarket ecu. Works great. But I doubt that helps you at all. I have two friends using a profec b and they like it alot. Personally, an ebc that is integrated into whatever aftermaket ecu I decided on getting would be the one I always used.

i was thinking of trashing the manual one i got and getting the profec b spec 2. i have read alot about all of them just seems like alot of money for something my manual one is doing ok at controlling

Manual is never as good as electronic. It can't react to the changes as quickly and there will always be spikes.

ok i want an electric one. now which one should i get i dont see myself switching levels of boost alot. are the electric ones similar to manual with a knob you turn to get more boost? does it read boost? or can you just set it at say 10 and all youll see on your gauge is 10?

reXer

I would get electronic... and a profec b is about the best value/price combo you will find. The profec has level settings and you turn the knob to increase/decrease it, but the levels are done by relative values. Like, 10 doesn't equal 10 psi. You have to calibrate it when you first use it to get the levels right. And you'll need an accurate boost gauge, it doesn't tell you what boost you're running.

is the profec b complicated to install and tune to the same boost i am running now?

reXer

If you can install gauges and a manual boost controller, you can install a profec. And just follow the directions for setting it up... it's not very hard, you can do it in a couple pulls.

nastyone

that sounds easy enough sort of just like the manual knob one its more of a test and tune thing but the reaction time is better

Eng's seen the magazine where they reviewed boost controllers... profec b, I think, had one of the flattest boost curves. It's also got a high/low button that will switch boost levels. It's nice.. you can run 2-3 psi lower when you just drive around and then just hit the button when you decide to race.
