Electronic Boost Controllers, What are you using

Looking for a small one to fit in the ashtray, glovbox or console.

I want something simple, nothing overly complicated.

What have you guys used with success.

HKS - absolutely the easiest to adjust, and fits perfectly in the ashtray. Capable of two boost settings in addition to the springs. To increase boost, just twist a ****!

Yep, same reason I like the Greddy. The **** on the right goes from 0 to 100 in 1% increments. Just twist and fly.

Top button on the left is the low and high toggle and the bottom one is the mode button where you can change things around to adjust your needs. Actually, I really bought it for the cool digital display.

All I'm looking to do is go from the one psi to another. Are most of these overkill or are there usefull features that I don't know about.

Like DDSLT5 says .... you get at least 3 settings. One (stock) boost when controller is off, then two ***** for A and B settings when controller is on.

Easy to dial in correct boost when on dyno or EFI tuning. Once set ... its Plug N Play.

However, if weather is funky ... you can finetune A and B dials to get boost dead on, while watching boost gage.

Really is a must have item if you want # of boost options at you fingertips. Can flip from A to B boost levels in about 2 seconds. Perfect for sudden needs of boost ... while streeting around.

From my experience, if I had a street race I would turn the boost controller off and run 9 #'s off the wastegates. For a highway run I'd turn the ABC back on and run 10.5 or 11 lbs (or more if your motor can take it).

Hi Guys,

All the above mentioned EBC's I carry and can offer you guys some nice packages. Personally, I like the Blitz SBC ID3 and the Greddy Profec's. Turbosmart has the Eboost 2 and we use those primarily in the big turbo BMW's/Porsche's yet it may be overkill for some of you. The Turbosmart won't fit in the ash tray yet you could do a triple pod and have a Spa fuel/boost gauge, wideband and your EBC on the A-pillar. Or, the Blitz/greddy in the tray.

That's the exact route I've been planning on. But, instead of the Spa, I am going to run the dynotunenitrous.com digital fuel pressure gauge, and also their digital A/F gauge for the LC-1 W/B, along with the EBoost 2, all in a triple pillar pod.
