best electronic boost controler

[dsmodder]

im about to buy an electronic boost controler but ive heard good/bad things about just about controler out there. for example, the apexi doesnt read in psi which is kind of a pain in the ass. the greddy profectb2 isnt very accurate. whats your guys take on this?

Stick with a manual type, read this- http://features.evolutionm.net/article/machvcorner/30
and get separate gauges for each individual reading. I always hear mechanical is more accurate also but I am not 100% on that. Unless you want the electronic type for the coolness factor?

its not a bad thing that the apexi EBC reads in BAR...once you learn the BAR measurements, understanding turbos and ratios becomes alot easyer because everything is mostly in bar format...

I gotta be honest here dude, it's not mine. I don't even know where the hell I found this picture but I sure would like to get that cover and put it on my own.

yea stickin with electronic for hte cool factor. somehow cruzin down the road at 13psi and then stopping at a stop light next to a vette and turning it up before he knows what happend to him is just plain cool.

gsxracer i know you use the greddyprofect b 2 how do you like it???

I used the original PRofec B for years. It worked flawlessly, super easy to use, but I could only get up to 26 psi. No matter what I tried I couldnt go higher. Well, there was one contraption I rigged up that worked, but I wont bore you guys with the details. The Profec B spec 2 sounds like a major pain in the ass, and I personally couldnt be arsed. Looks like there is a new simple version out, saw it on SBRs site, and its supposed to be good to 35 psi or something like that. I am considering getting one. If the old profec B was good to 35 psi I never would have sold it. Ever.

Here is a thread that I made awhile back about it... there is some good info in there!

I know that the AVC-R uses staged boost (RPM wise and gear wise) not sure if Profec or Greddy do that. I did not end up with the Greddy simply cause it was just to much money and I didnt want to spend that at the time. Anyways... Good luck!

Personally, if you have a boost gauge that reads in PSI its not hard to be able to set the AVC-R... Another thing, people somtimes refer to boost pressure in bar's, good thing to know... 1 bar = roughly 14.7psi, that also helps out when using the AVC-R.

right on guys
