Default Favorite Method of Boost contol?

I did a search for "boost contoller" and came up with zero results. I find that hard to believe but anyway, what is everyones favorite method of controlling your boost? Manual? Electronic? Name some brand names if possible. Thanks!

Either your being sarcastic, which is very possible, or no one knows what that is. I did a search for that too and came up with notta!

Not to be sarcastic, but if you did a search for "contoller" you probably wouldn't get much help. I just a search for recent content under "boost controller" and got 23 results.

sigh, i guess my sarcasm was taken lightly

but honeslty it depends on preference either an mbc for good boost control or just hose from volute to wastegate to depend on the wg's internal spring pressure, or ebc if your toolazy and like the bling of it all

did you click the 'archives' button?

Well, to answer the question, i personally like manual controllers myself favorite being Greddy TVVC but the TurboXS HPBC is nice for the price.

are the $9 ebay ones any good? All a manual boost controller is is a screw that blocks aiflow to limit the psi, correct?

I went with a Blitz SBC-iD boost controller. I will let you know how I like it as I am sure VaporTrail will too.

i've had the Blitz SBC-id on 2 cars now and having tuned cars with many different controllers, this on has got to be about the best. for those strapped for cash, get the Profec B and you'll be nearly as satisfied.

The blitz has had absolutely no boost creep and gives a very quick response if you take the time to set the gain appropriately. Once youre above 8-9psi you need to set the controller via duty cycle settings rather than entering a boost value. oh well....

I made my homemade boost controller from home depot parts and it holds boost rock solid and never spikes. This is on a DRAG manifold with a tial wastegate.

Search google homemade manual boost controller and follow the instructions. It's like 5 parts, a ball bearing, and a spring from a pen. Works money.

Also, I have an profec E-01 on the way, but can't give opinions on it yet.
