I'm looking at buying a electronic boost controller to fix my boost spike problem, wat I want to know is how good they are and what brands ppl would go with? Looking at spending around the $400 mark as long as it's gonna do the job! I currently am running a turbosmart boost t but at 18psi it spikes to 22psi and causes my car to ping, so any info/help would be grate!! And want to get one b4 the weekend so I can run it on the cruise this weekend

If you can stretch your budget or can find a good second hand one, IMO you can't go past an eBoost2. So much functionality and of the two I've had I've never had a problem with them.

boost spike hey- sure its not the wasgate spring? how about taking it back to have less boost dialed in, does it happen on 16psi?

Yep I'm with lachie, eboost2 ftw! Might have trouble finding one before the weekend for $400 tho.
99% of turbo engines running a boost tee will suffer from boost spike.. Obviously the higher the boost and spike the worse it is.. Only way to tame it a bit is getting a higher pressure gate spring.

i run an eboost street for my sr, same as eboost 2 but less la di da (not necessary) functions. something to do with less aux outputs but still same functionality in controlling boost

you will need to retune anyway as boost will hit earlier and harder, plus you'll need to play around a bit to get it to do what you want.

turn your boost down a shade for the cruise id say

Greddy profec II
i just picked one up that looked brand new for 250
these work very well on the drift cars mates running 26psi
maybe a cheaper option ?

Im running a blitz duel sbc in mine seemed good for the price $380 and more functions than I will ever use lol

have you taken the ball and spring out of the boost T
it makes it come on stronger and it spikes
no ball and spring it wil be softer and wont over run and spike
could also play the spring length in T to make it in the middle

Perth ute- I reckon the profec aswell, but where the hell you buying it brand new for $250??? Not a retailer I'm guessing?

Edit: Sorry my fault " looked brand new" ( just re read it )

yeh the profec B spec II's are ok, a few mates have them in drift cars. Only thing i dont like about them is they are sometimes a bitch to setup.
