Best manual boost controller?
What is the best manual boost controller for this car? How much horsepower do you think it will add?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...ayphotohosting there is 160 psi in all 4 cylinders. Look at the description for the rest of the upgraders.

Re: Best manual boost controller?
The description doesn't say what boost he is running nor how much power it has now. My guess is that if he is smart enought to put the 6-bolt in there he has it tuned pretty good on pump gas and your not going to get a whole lot more out of it.

Re: Best manual boost controller?
Well, I doubt you can get 330 with just the SAFC, I think you will need ignition adjustments before that kind of number can be achieved. As for the brand, I have heard rave reviews about JoeP's MBC, $45 and they work great. Thor's rockin one

Re: Best manual boost controller?
I think he has a boost controller already. No way he did engine swap and turbo upgrade and whatnot and he has no boost controller. Also turning the boost up will not be the way to make horsepower. He has a EvoIII turbo with 680, you must use the safc to compensate. 680's are a little to big for 20psi on that turbo. I know that on pump gas you can get around 20psi on that turbo before you start knocking. Car is around 300hp.

Re: Best manual boost controller?
If he has a pretty freaking good tune. Please dude, tell me you are going to at minimum familiarize yourself with this stuff before you buy a car and start expecting power. That is an excellent way to mess your shit up and be out a LOT of money.

He said i would need to buy a boost controller for more hp so i dont think he has one. He said he is running 12psi and he said about 290 horsepower right now. He said if i had a boost controller i could probably get 330.

Re: Best manual boost controller?
Oh craps....
If you're new to DSM's or anything turbo'd, I'd say stick with the 290hp its supposedly coming with before you crank up the boost and not knowing what other things that go in hand with "simply" adding more boost. Although it seems with the injectors, with a proper tune it COULD handle a bump up, no prob. As for the MBC, I have a BoostScience MBC in my 240, but I don't even touch it because I myself am a bit of a turbo newb, plus I need 550cc injectors and a dyno tune, argh.... 9psi = training wheels.

Re: Best manual boost controller?
Yeah, power isnt as easy to come by as people think it is. Honestly, I would be pretty suprised to see that car put down more than, fuck I dont know, like mid-low 200's. My best guess would be between like 225ish. Its definately not 290 with just 12 lbs of boost.

Re: Best manual boost controller?
Really, you need to research this subject alot further. There is alot of good information out there.
No, don't just go cranking up the boost just because you have the mods. You also need to tune it. Either buy a wideband to tune yourself or take it to the dyno and have them tune it. No clue what 17 psi would make on the 16G, but I can tell you 12 psi is definately not making 290 to the wheels. Also beware of that boost creep, them 16g's love doing it. I could recommend so many performance parts, but I have no idea what your goals are. But I would have to say get some cams that was probably my favorite mod aside from the turbo.
