well what are your goals??? what kind of control are you looking to get??? what boost levels???? if your looking for a manual controller, then i think the greddy t.v.v.c. is the best or the turbo xs. for a manual boost controller you NEED a ball and spring design. For electronic there all pretty good, some just have more options available.

by the way i have a greddy tvvc for sale, 90 shipped.

Well, I have a GS-R in my 95 Si HatchBack. Stock block with 2mm head gasket and ARP headstuds. i have a T3/T4 ballbearing turbo front mount intercooler DSM 450cc injectors with resistor box. Apex V-AFC to map my fuel and i just bought a Kooks Tubular manifold (which i bought from Morpheous on honda-tech, i give him my voucher he's a good guy) and im deciding wether to buy a 2.5" Max Rev DP or a 3" Max Rev DP. I also bought a 35mm Tial Waste gate from SSAustoChrome which was in great working order and i give them my voucher as well. I would like to run a dyno on 10psi mebe more but no more then 12psi. But i dont think that tial makes a 12psi spring so i dont know how i will be able to do that.
So basically i need an electronic boost controller for all of this and i was told that greddy makes a great 1 called a Profec B with Hi and Lo boost. I was wondering if there was any other one's out there with the same standards as this one. If so what are they who makes them or has one that would like to sell or even if anyone has a Profec B they would like to sell i would be interested.

My friend has the greddy profec B, and I have a homemade MBC. His cost $300, mine cost $8. They do the same thing. He does have the bling, and the ability to change boost on the fly, from in the car... but aside from that, you do the math. What do you want to do?

If its just so you can tune @ different boost levels go w/ an inexpensive manual boost controller ie. turbo xs there like $100 ..small investment, reliable, good option for boost control

if your deciding on a profec then definately get the spec II. the spec I is ok if you can get it for like 125-150. but the spec II is better for the money. Id personally get an AVCR if it were me, thats what im getting.

my turboxs 2 stage mbc has been fine to me. very simple install and can increase boost by adjusting the screws...

for my goals i dndt need the ability to adjust boost from inside the car so this was perfect for me.

find what your needs are and pick accordingly
