Boost controller

[Animalzach]

Is there any preference with boost controllers? Like as far as electronic or manual controllers? Thanks for any input

I have the slow boy racing boost Controller and it works fine. It's a manuel. The electric ones are pricey. But they are nice. The aem boost controller is pretty good. That's the one I want to get. Sometimes you see them used. But my advice is don't buy a eBay or knockoff. Get a name brand. The last thing you want is something to go wrong and shove 30psi when you dont want to.

Ball and spring (IE Hallman) type is much better than the bleeder types.

And here's why:

Electronic solenoid controllers are a really nice and snazzy setup but requires a little more know how and proper setup

Yup, love my Hallman so far. No spikes at all. solid full boost. and very easy adjustable

Hallmans all you need.

I just installed the NXS one from eBay and its working just fine. Holding good and steady boost.

I like MBC's, i made my own and didn't spend more than $20 and couldn't be more happy with the results.

Note if you make your own you will need to drill a #72 drill bit size into the brass T to prevent spiking.

Here is a video on it if you want to take a peek

I use the TurboXS one. Works fine, it maybe peaks 2-3 PSI over at or about 25lbs, but it steads out pretty quickly.

Got it for $15 here on the classifieds.

Watched the video.

...And holy crap, Caravans had turbos?

Yea, they can be pretty mean too. Lol there's one in my home state that's making some serious power.

Thats what i was also wondering when he said that. I guess that van would be for those soccer moms that are really late to games

I run a Hallman as well.

 

[Animalzach]

That's for the help!

I run a home made one. Works good.

I have an HKS EVCII on my GSX. Cost me $350 and it was a pain in the ass to install. Doesn't have a display or anything. Just a knob. On my GST I decided to go with a DejonPowerhouse MBC ($30). WAY easier to install and works just as well. The ONLY difference I noticed is that I have to get under the hood to change my boost settings. But I haven't changed it since I set it 5 months ago.

I ran hallman they work great , I currently use a greddy electronic boost controller and think its awesome , more control how the boost build and you have a high and low settings, plus peak warnings . Keep it low for daily drive , when I want to step it up and nice push of a button or turn of a knob and the game is on .
