ok, i have a tial 38 mm wastegate and planing to run about 12 to 18 psi at the track. I have a apexi boost controller, planning to buy hondata s200, and i have never use a digital boost controller before are they any good ?? and the question is do i need it. If not i'm going to sell it to buy my hondata.
let me know if you need to know my setup..

if you want to run two different boost leves, then you have to have some way to control it

^^^ What he said.

 

so this is just like an turbo xs dual boost controller.

 

what psi spring does your wastegate have?

 

i'm not sure i bought it new ..if that helps..

 

no, not really. email tial with the srial number on your wastegate (on the top) and ask them if they know what psi spring it was sold with

 

i guess i will cal them. What about the apexi boost controller should i just dump that then.

 

ill buy it off of you for $50

 

If ur targetting 14-18 psi of boost u dont need the apex boost controller it depends what size spring is in ur wastegate try to keep the spring size at 14 psi all u need is a turbo XS manual boost controller is simplicity makes it easy to controll boost rather than the apex digital boost controller because its to complicated to use cuz i use to own one

^what?? The problem with going straight spring and mbc is that it doesnt allow for the holding capabilitites that ebc has, like holding the valve completely closed until the desired psi is reached. EBC's offer a more extreme boost ramp and overshoot and stabilization control

 

it holds fine wid mine

 

I agree but electronic boost controllers can be a pain in the but, you get more spiking and things like that with a MBC.

 

yea, ebc's are a bitch to setup, but when done properly, they're so much fun

it's not a matter of it holding boost, its a matter of how quickly peak boost is acheived, an ebc will always make peak boost quicker than an mbc

To bad mine didn't work out.

 

well, it was the first evc hks ever made, so it was really really really old. that andyou got it for 70 bucks

 

I was just asking for trouble. But it EBC are nice because they are mounted right in the car and you can play with them. But don't get to boost happy now. Electronics just don't like my dad. I am going to try it in the civic soon enough. Damn 16G wastegate.

 

thanks for the info..
