erm,,,,,,,,,,,, i cant link as my work block search engines

look on ebay as there about 250 quid plus another 120 for the power meter,,,,,,,,,, that allows you to set a few boost limits against MPH,,,,,, so you wont have 42psi at 19mph ect

im sure rod uses an eboost

and if you want a twin port set-up, just buy the actuator, and then buy all the other bits from radiospare or a pneumatic company

Phil, if all you want is fixedboost at 30psi like you said the other day, use a manual boost controller, they are fantastic for doing that job.

No wastegate creep as the actuator sees nothing till the MBC opens, and no spikes, with a reaction time that no electronics can match.

I use a Profec-B Spec II - it works. No boost/rpm though, just two set levels. Still it only cost about 150 quid.

Hi mate,

I am using a Blitz SBCi Colour (or color if you are american!!!). It is very very good indeed. It has both Speed or RPM mode variable boost control, allowing you to map up to four different boost settings.

This does the job of both the Power Meter and Blitz ID that preceeded it, all in one box.

Very very very good, and does what you want it to extremely efficiently.

BUT, a little on the dear side. Best place to buy is from a recognised jap importer on Ebay. If you do, you can usually get for about 450 quid new!

Hope this helps

JJ

Thats correct, although i dont actually touch it or even look at it . Have a Large Boost-gauge next to the Stack & boost levels are on a switch. Mark set it at 2.54bar max boost on day one & it aint been touched.

Ive got an Apexi AVCR fitted that does boost levels for each gear.

Cant tell you how good it is coz I am too lazy to read read the 60 page manual at the moment. It looks good though and took a bit of fitting and I am sure it will do what I need. Just need to read the book!!!
