Boost controllers. Which are the best?

[dazzz]

I'm going to replace the mbc on my car with a suitable ebc. I'll only be running 13 psi.

What are the top models? Currently looking at the Blitz SBC type s controller in this link.

I believe this is the new model. Bit pricey so ill maybe look at a used model.

What have other people used and what are the choices available?

No complaints from the trusty Blitz DS-BC

[dazzz]

This seems to be the word on the street.

So the dsbc, is yours spec r or s. s being the single and r being the dual?

[craig]

Spec R mate, the DSBC model for boost up to 2.5 bar. Spec S, I believe only for boost up to 1.3 bar if memory serves.

[dazzz]

Ill only be running 0.9 bar. 1 bar at the most.

What boost you running? And what mods you using to support the boost.

Running 1.2 bar, just bolt on mods at the moment.

[dazzz]

Hhhmmmm

1.2 bar you say. That's fairly high. What's the general rule on max boost for just bolt on mods.

I'm having the inter cooler changed at sbits when I have my cam cover gasket done. Ill have all the bolt ons then. How does the car cope with 1.2 and is it stock turbo.

[craig]

Yeah, stock CT20b on mine. Runs fine.

Obviously I wouldn't recommend more than 1.2bar, in fact 1.1bar would be spot on for stock boost on a stock CT20b

Plus you're limited, as fuel cut is 18psi anyway, and 1.2 bar is 17.4psi.

What is the stock boost levels for a standard rev 3

I asked you that a few days ago!

From a bit of research I'm pretty sure it's 13psi and rev1/2 is 10psi.

[dazzz]

Ok. Mines running 0.9 bar at the minute which is more or less 13psi.

I'll turn it up to 1bar once the ebc is done.

I know. I've confused myself. I think I told you it was lower the other day.

Don't listen to me.

I found this website while looking around;

And it's got a list of differences between the rev's here;

Anyone used or know anything about the three different items below.

Are they all boost controllers or are they hardware add ons for the first controller.

I use Apexi AVCR and car is mapped to 1.3 bar but if you feel a bit more adventurous http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=168428

Best on the market in terms of features and wastegate control are the Blitz icolor and HKS EVC.

There is an HKS EVC for sale here

I've got a Gizzmo IBC, great piece of kit and easy to use. Also it's rated to 3.5 bar.
