Wednesday, May 25, 2005 7:48 PM
well starting my hahn stage 2 install toamrrow and hoping to have it done by memorial day. im just curious what kind of boost controller everyone has? i dont plan to get one till mid summer, but im lookin now.

i have my eyes set on the Greddy Profec B Spec. kinda spendy at 280 though...

so whats everyone running on their cav's? how they like theirs? opinions? recomendations?

I have a Halman MBC I picked up from a DSM friend for $20. As soon as I get a few other things taken care of I'll be looking at an EBC, probably something around the Profec B line.

The HKS IV works well.

Joe P boost controllers work just as well as the TurboXS manuals. i prefer electric boost controllers because well spikes and boost creep suck. but if you aren't dealing with over 8 psi then no need to get that extensive. stay away from that Home Depot idea, no matter what those DSM guys say.

thanks for the repleys. i dont really need an electric one, i dont plan on changing it constantly. nor do i want to spend 300+ for one.

my next question would be there did you all get yours? karo and aaron dont have them on their site, and i dont believe jim does either.

im leaning towards that turbo sx dual stage.

I have the basic TurboXS boost controller... runs about $60-70 I think. Works just great for me. Actually mine is turned all the way down because my wastegate opens at 8 psi and im leavin it there for now.

brand new on ebay. looking to get 140-150 for it but might go a little lower.
profec is almost $300

switching cause the profec is better for the boost levels in gonna be running and because i can always look at my boost gauge while running (too many other gauges and pieces of track to watch) so i need the boost warning feature it has. easier to program too....dont have to open the hood after every run and let everyone see under it
