Boost Controllers.. what are you using?

Boost Controllers.. what are you using?

I like the HKS EVC and the Greddy PRofec B Spec.

A blitz has also been recommended.

I also saw the Eboost2.

What are you using?

Blitz SBC ID is what I usually install and use myself.

The I-color is new and has some neat new stuff integrated.

Glenn, Can you change your I Color to PSI from Bar or hkpa?

I don't want a mechanical boost controller.. they work great.. I used one in my Typhoon.. I want something more adjustable on the fly.

This will be the unpopular choice, but I like my Hallman Pro manual boost controller. I find there's no real need for me to adjust boost up and down while inside the cockpit and I've never had a problem with the manual controller under or over-boosting.

It also takes about 10 minutes to install.

I run the Blitz ABC - same as Phil, Vetzilla, and Earl. I figured if I got the same one as everyone else it would be easy to get help figuring out how to use it.

Okay after looking at various review, etc.. it looks like the Blitz SBC ID is what I like... many here using it.

What is the cheapest place some have found..
I have it for $525 with shipping.. any other better than that?

Best price on Blitz Turbo Boost Controller (SBC I-D) I've been able to find is from http://turboimport.com/catalog/electronics.htm. I think I paid $464.

Still trying to figure out why they sell them.

Glenn, Can you change your I Color to PSI from Bar or hkpa?

Phil

You cannot change it from Bar to anything. ... kinda sux... I do run 1.4 bar though... (20#).. the i color doesnt have the auto reset either..... wonder why their new product wouldnt have the same features as the sbcid III.

Which HKS do you have?

The SBC iD is discontinued according to the guy at turboimports.com

The i color is what he recommended.
