thinking about getting an eboost 2, how easy are these to set up,or how difficult? are there any more decent controllers out there, anybody had expierience with this type of thing would be appreciated

 

i have just fitted mine but i am going to get jamsport to set it up for me

 

are they complicated to fit,are the instructions easy to follow, also is it an eboost

 

I run a Apexi AVC-R was a piece of piss to install and set up!

 

from experience, the apexi untis are the dogs
although the really cheap dodgy ones u get off ebay are more harm than good

 

get a gizzmo mate 2 wiars to install comes with every thing u need has loads of features to think it cost me 200 brand new from ebay (from a company) not secondhand

 

The problem i have with all but ecu controlled boost is what if you have an engine issue ? high charge temps water temps etc ? they just continue to produce the boost you programmed in there is no safety factors much better if its from the ecu but then again its more expensive but protects the engine, mind you what ecu's lower the boost etc if there is an issue?my pectel boost control does but what others?valid point i think.
tim

 

never heard of 1 of those,il have to have a look

 

wot are you saying there a complete waste of time,surely your gauges would warn you of charge and water temps?i run a dta management so also can run alot of features

 

my mate has one of the gizmo controllers on his evo and rates it pretty highly- seems like quite a bargain for wot they do

 

so is it just ebay who sell these gizmo jobbies? or a certain company? im going to have a look, is there a model number or something?

 

ahh just seen it is the company called r-spec performance? so it is a good product then?

 

No i wasnt saying there a wast of time they do what they are supposed to do, i would want 1 on mine for sure when your on track do you look at your gauges of have time to lol ,if it starts detting through hi charge temps and high boost how long is the engine going to last? i was just saying they are not ideal.

 

sorry tim got the wrong end of the stick lol, i respect what you are saying,but i think you would still be in the same boat without 1,also this would help the boost not to fluctuate,also i think if you fitted 1 to your car your times would get even better silly as it may sound,they are serious pieces of kit,i mean i dont like to say it but look at the japs most have controllers and do good times

 

i do have boost control and air injectors 12 position controlled by the ecu

 

Fuck it! In car bleed valve FTW!!!

 

just going off wot my mate has said but he bought base model one ms-ibc as at the time it had just been reduced- he said it was very easy to install and setup
The solenoid or whatever you call it looked pretty simple which just connects as you would a bleed valve then its just a case of a few wires for power and mounting it

 

I use a Greddy profec B Spec 2 controller, very basic to install and wire up and fairly easy to setup to once you've read the instructions. Most seem to do the job (electronic ones), i was recommended mine by an evo tuner of all things lol and he runs them in loads of big bhp cars so can't be all bad.

 

ive heard good things of greddy ones, dave did you fit and set up yours

 

Go for a gizmo mate, the better one of the two, which costs about £200 does all you need, Dead easy to install, looks top stuff aswell. Can run external or internal gate off of it, you get scramble boost, over boost warning, 6 different boost memories, even a handy button which can control either the memories or the scramble. \

 

Nice bit of kit imo, simple and unobtrusive. Fitted it myself and set it up to start with, then had it tweaked by the guy who mapped the car (he uses them all the time so had his preferred way of setting it). Simple wiring, has it's own harness that you connect to the solenoid and two pipes to the solenoid from actuator and compresser housing, couldn't be easier! Seen those gizmo controllers, they obviously do the job too though the ones i've seen do look a bit cheap and tacky imo (not that it's got anything to do with how good they are mind lol).

 

cheers guys i may look into this gizmo controller, saw 1 advertised today and if it works as good as people say i might try 1,if it does look cheap i can try hide it lol,as long as it works an all that
