Boost controllers.....

I think I am going to go with an electronic one. I have looked at the Greddy Profec B Type 2. Let me know what you guys think and if there is any other good ones out there in that price range. Also guys with manula boost controls tell me what you think of them. If you would keep it or go to electronic.. TTY

Easy to intall and tune??? TTY

Yes. . . very easy.
Just make sure that the two you use the same vacuum line for everything so you don't get any fluctuations. . .

I first hooked mine up in two "different spots". Just different lines and I would spike if I messed around. However, after running from the turbo to a T and into the solenoid and the wastegate, I no longer have ANY spikes and no drop off when I tune it right.

Main Features:
HI and LO, so, push a button for more boost when you need it.
Overboost protection (set a value and it will cut boost when that value is exceeded).
"Built in" boost gauge.
Set gain and where you want the solenoid to start opening (so you can force the wastegate to stay closed longer and build boost faster).
Adjust from inside the car, on the fly. . .beeps if you hit the limit, very easy.

Highly recommend it.

Well I've had both manual and electronic. I used a Blitz SBC dual solenoid controller my experience with it is that I would get some bad spikes with the manual controller but I had the ease of tuning it from the cockpit. Another bad thing I found with the electric one is that I ahd the tendency to mess with it alot since it was right there and that would lead to a greater possibility to screw things up. The one I'm using in the Mirage now is a manual one and I love it. I got it from www.dawesdevices.com they are cheap simple and very very reliable. I don't have any boost spikes and it holds rock steady. No I can't adjust it from teh cabin but once you set it you dont' have to worry about electronic failure or anything like that set it and forget it kind of deal. Both have their ups and downs but for me I will stick with a manual less headache and works just as well for 1/5th the price.

The best boost controller in my opinion is the greddy profec b spec 2. No boost spike, I have them on sale for $325
