In researching for a Boost Controller I came across several manual boost controllers, and electronic one's as well. If my setup will utilize Hondata w/Dyno tuning, would the Electronic boost (AVCR) controller only serve as an interior access boost controller? Also does the manual boost controller have any other effect over boost spiking?

If anyone has any input it will be great..

I hate bumping but I really would like to know.

THE electronic ones are more accessable in the cabin, and easier to adjust boost. . .w ell kinda ,i just took out my Hallman MBC and put in My Greddy Profec b Spec2, and its sweeet but i cant figure out how to use it
both do the job , and both are nice , but the EBC;s are just more pimp and in cabin ,
the MBCs though you can usually get like some kinda of dial to adjust in the cabin , but its a guesssing game with them

Hope that helps a little

also keeps the waste gate closed longer than a mbc

PM-Performance

well you can adjust that , so thats nice too , you can adjust thw rates the wg opens for better response and spoolup . . . at least thats what greddy says.

Thanks, I guess the Manual will work fine for my application since it will be a set it and forget. Thanks for the responses.

IM Selling mine almost new for $35 shipped , hit me up if interested,

manual boost controllers are more subject to boost spikes. there is a spring that presses a ball into a seat and boost pressure has to overcome the initial tension on the spring to activate the wasetgate.

And what's different with electronic controller?

racerxadam

an electric controller uses a vaccum solenoid or boost solenoid that uses magnets, i suppose, to open and close the ports.

its like this, boost comes from the turbo to the solenoid and also there is a source for the controller itself to "see" boost. then from the solenoid lines are routed to the wastegate. when the controller sees the set boost it opens the solenoid to allow pressure to travel through the lines and open the wastegate.

overall I would rather have an electronic boost controller and eventually I will set it up with my EMS but cost is a limiting factor and manual controllers are cheap.

Ok that makes more cents. The ball and spring has more room to flex, in turn allowing boost spike. Thanks for the information. I already purchased the Turbo XS HP MBC> Hopefully it won't be to bad. If so I will get the new Profec Spec 2 controller.

The gm solenoid is cheap, and it works with the ems. Thats what i used. I think i paid like $10

i have the solenoid but i can't locate a plug for me ems. i bought it used and it didn't come with the extra plug where the pinout for the solenoid would go. i got the runaround when i called aem sales and drt said they would send me one but never did.
