I am also just waiting for the BOV spring to get that right so next week i'm hoping to be close to the new tune and ready to rock for the summer!!!

What boost controller is it?

If you are going to be tuned with EcuTek you don't necessarily need a bc. Some are running without one. I would talk to your tuner.

You'd still have to have some kind of solenoid even if Ecutek is controlling boost. I know Ecutek can do it but I've never seen details on how exactly it works.

I agree! I know it has been done and I think Hojin was setup that way. I think Seb has setup a few as well.

I went with the old Profec I bought NIB off eBay. Nothing fancy but tried and true. I've never heard anything bad about a Profec. You sure the solenoid is hooked up properly?

I have the same one he does, pure voodoo to set up.

Not mine. Other than being in bars, it's just High/Low/Off

Yours should be. The OLED version of the Profec is only specific with warning and start boost. The boost , set and gain functions are all percentages. For example 9psi is 24% with a 7lb spring. And all that isn't even bring up the scramble function. But once low boost is set it's easy to make adjustments for high boost by starting with the low settings and working up. The pain in the butt is setting gain to prevent drop-off.

jwick · 05-13-2017, 05:49 PM

That's why I pay my tuner. I just hooked it up.

jwick · 05-13-2017, 06:50 PM

As I recall during him setting it up all the settings were percentage of WG spring up to 100%

Warning and Start boost are PSI specific. Limiter, Set boost and Gain settings are all percentage. My tuner looked at the OLED Profec like it was a piece of Alien Technology.

You must be from up north. Us southern guys put the cars away for summer when the weather gets above 90ish.
