keirz Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 just a bit of help really,basically my only form of boost control is the hks actuator. what are my benifits if i was to be using an ebc? do i really need one to get a good tune and make good power? what differences will i see with an ebc?

WallaceGlanza Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You don't need one to give you more power unless the hks actuator can't adjust the boost anymore (I think it only adjusts upto 1.1bar?), you can also get a quicker spool time with a properly set up ebc, mostly it just gives you more adjustability.

Glanza_Ragger Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 As Wallace said bud, mainly incar adjustability.Allthough you will see slightly better spool times with a ebc that has the gain settings setup correct.Its handy to be able to switch between hi and low though. Actuator alone will do the job just fine.As would a manual boost controller fitted inside the engine bay or cockpit.If you go for a manual type, i suggest either a turbosmart or a forge type.There dawes types so they wont piss boost and give you uncontrollable spikes.

ecksjay Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 if tuned well, you will gain response, stability and increased output overall from a decent boost controller. they are VERY worth having, i've been recommending, sourcing, fitting and tuning them for years.

StarletRick Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 with a good tune on the EBC youll get alot better response from your tubby. i got my spool time down by 700rpm on the td06 by messing about with the controller. they are WELL worth it. even if its just the warning feature (kills the boost if you overboost, very handy if youre not paying attention)for the money, you cant go wrong.
