is the car going to be daily street driven? or a track car? because i really like my greddy type s EBC, its very easy to use, holds boost well, and im able to change between hi and low boost with a push of a button. its really convenient on the street to change between high and low and im able to change it while driving. my old setup i used the AEM ems and boost control solenoid.. that worked really well too it held and built boost great, but the down fall to that, if i wanted to switch between high and low boost, i would have to whip out my laptop, and wasnt as convenient as the greddy EBC.

i hope that gives you some insite on your plans/goals

i believe there is a 9lb spring in it right now and it will mostly be a track car but i will still drive it on the street for fun, so it would be nice to change the boost settings from low to high. how much was your boost controller?

I have a feeling that the NLR system is a little out of my price range haha thanks though, I'm looking to keep it $350 or less

what engine management are you using? you might want to look into a turboxs dual stage or quad stage boost control

http://www.turboxs.com

if you use aem you can simply buy a solenoid and use that for boost control.

I have a Blitz DSBC Spec R for sale actually.... It has been the best that I have used so far. It held 4 stages, each rock solid. It never creeped on me. Let me know if you are intereested.

Greddy is crap.

I am now using the TurboXS Quad stage. Have yet to test it out though.
