txs or turbosmart.

ok so my i have been recommened to get an electronic boost controler....something about how it constantly regulates the boost better and allows the wastegate to open and close with a much higher velocity. So whats a good one that is well not a million dollars?

Something about how they always need to be kicked or adjusted as air temps, pressure, and humidity varies around... usually there's a big difference between night and day, this isn't just seasonally. This is when they even work AT ALL.

I'd like to see a good electronic one, period. The Turbosmart e-Boost2 I played with last week was a flaky pile of poop, and only half the AVC-Rs I touch ever work (and then need the constant jiggling described above).


Stick with a two stage manual boost controller, you'll be much happier. You won't get a bright flashy gay readout that lets people know you are a baller, you'll just get consistent reliable repeatable performance every time you mash the gas.

 

really? so they are no good?

 

No, they are awesome, you should buy two to make up for lost time.

wow i am ******* lost....Electronic boost or Two stage manual?

I am going to be runnin hondatas200.... can they tune for more than one map? I am just wondeirng about the two stage becuase if it can only be tuned for one setting....that would be bad

 

another vote for the hallman pro rx

got a deal on ebay too from addictive performance (try the "make offer" option and you'll get an even better deal than whats listed)

 

Hallmann!

 

I've been using a turbo xs for 2 years and no problems

 

TurboXS. Had a Greddy Profec B 1st gen, but rather the easy and reliabilty of the TXS. Plus it's a lot smaller and easier to hide if you want.

 

happy with my single stage turbosmart mbc

 

make ur own diy from home depot fittings

This is why old men shouldnt be let infront of computers. Stupid operators can make even the best products look bad, as u have demonstrated.

Id recommend any type of ball valve MBC, dont pay over $30 for it though. When u wanna step up, eboost is one of the simplest EBC's ive owned, plug her in, dialup the the boost and the ramp and watch it hold rock solid without any learning or tuning.

 

Well the deal is, i am going to be at about 400hp. I have about 9k into the motor alone...so i want everything done right. I plan to have it tuned then just not mess with it anymore. THe prob is i am running out of money, so i need something that will last and work for a long time....but something 300$ or less

This old man has owned computers for the last 22 years, currently owns more comuters right now than you have owned in your life, and has an EE. Die, ignorant child.

When the electronic boost controller sits there like a lump and does nothing to the boost level, it is called defective, much like your logical processes.

 

I love my turbo xs dual stage, its great, and it kicks in like a shot of nos when I flip the high boost switch, jump from 11 psi to 21 psi in hundreths of a millisecond, no delay. I would only get a electronic boost controller if it was free.
I have a txs single stage if anyone interested. (note I am not talking about xs power)
