Re: Profec B SpecII vs Profec B Type-S

another oldie i never saw. if this subject has already been beaten, lock it up.

quick explaination:

type-s

retard simple. 3 knobs: trim, hi, lo. 1 button: hi/lo

trim is the magic knob, you turn it up for faster response and find the spot right before you start to spike. you want it like nanometers prior to spike, mabey even a teeeeeny bit of spike for shits and giggles.

hi: up for more boost. duh. supposedly good to ~32psi.

lo. up for more boost. duh. i capped out a max of about 18psi with the fully cranked lo setting.

trim changes for hi/lo settings, so you have to remember that and remember to change it accordingly. mine was +3 notches [things you feel when you turn the knob] for the lo setting.

Profec B Spec-2

there are many many EBC's out there now. for the size of this thing i still think it's the best. i got suckerd into the Type-S because it was the new kid on the block and my B2 got jacked with my stereo. they are going to burn in hell for stealing my shit i hope. another story, moving on.

i loved that this EBC. it took some learning to master, and was a bit frustrating at times [why can't you just plug in a PSI and be done!?!?!] but the col blue glow and the red warning was really cool. i loved his thing and wished everyday that i would have just gotten another one instead of the Type-S. ah well.

see here for a great tuning guide for it:

don't get me wrong, the Type-S is still a magnificent beast, simple as all hell and works perfectly, no thinking neccesary. but ther ewas something about the actual 'tuning' aspect of the B2. it just grew on ya. and the look was 1000 times better as well.
