Default boost controller

Hi, was wondering what type of boost controller people run with ? Been hearing shit about this bleedvalves and since I have one I must say I agree, the boost wont hold it self stable yes so, give me some information ? I dont like it when the boost peaks at one point then drops down a bit ...

Hi mate dont think many or if at all any cosworth owners run an electronic boost controller. Usually see them on the japanese cars..

Plus its not a plug and play option its needs setting up once fitted and depending on the controller it isn't really a simple thing to do.

Hope that makes sense

I run whith simple GREDDY BSpec2. Easy to install, easy to adjust, small and has some useful functions - easy switch between two preset mods, keep in mind peak boost, show last boost some seconds after you close the throttle, also you can increase boost at hi rpm if your boost droped at hi revs.

thanks, Ive just bought an GREDDY BSpec2. Its going on a sierra cosworth 4x4, I had a bleed valve earlier but I ended up with one heck of a boost peak, so was hoping to get rid of this with an electronic boost controller ?

yes, a boost controller is much more reliable & better than a bleed valve

great then I hopefully would be happy with this, with my bleed valve it peaked at 1.8 bar and got stable at 1. bar...Thats a pretty big gap...
