ashbuxton Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Anyone using one of these on their set up? Thinking of buying one to help stabilise boost and have ability to switch between a high and low boost setting in car. Are they easy enough to set up (obviously following instructions). I am not thinking of running over 1.3 bar anytime soon so I think type S is the way to go, correct? Is there any benefit for going with the type r? All advice or alternative solutions/EBCs will be consideredThanksAshley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I'm also thinking along the same lines........just gonna lurk 😉 Edited April 28, 2017 by Flynn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I had the Spec R a few years ago, the solenoid was fucked and was as expensive to replace as getting a whole new controller. I'd buy new rather than second hand on that basis, but that's just my experience. They're good and hold boost well, and certainly cheaper than the likes of Apexi AVCR. Another good options is the HKS EVC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashbuxton Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks Adam. I had an avcr on my old starlet it came on the car didn't realise they cost that much though! I think for what I need it for the blitz is a good choice. I will be buying new around £200 delivered that seem about right or can anyone recommend cheaper from anywhere?

AdamB Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yeah they are expensive, but also complex to setup unless you know what you're doing. £200 sounds about right, not been in touch with the game recently but think a couple of years ago they were around £260 (Spec R).

ashbuxton Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks for your help Adam mate. So am I right in thinking I can set up say a 0.8bar setting and a 1.1bar setting that can be switched between easily in car for everyday driving and playtime? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yeah mate, the Spec R you can have 4 different settings, not sure about the Spec S.Remember you can't go lower than actuator / wastegate pressure though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashbuxton Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 So dropping my hks adjustable actuator low to say 0.6 bar and then set up from there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
