Boost controller
 
Im a little new to this turbo stuff. I have a gtm twin turbo ordered and I have to decide what boost controller is the best bang for my buck. Im pretty much out of money already but Ill find a way to squeeze some more out if its worth it.

You can just run spring pressure for the time being if you really need to save money, or a less expensive MBC. However, I would go with an HKS unit personally. Makes no sense to drop 10K on a great TT system and skimp on a boost controller.

HKS EVC-S. Nuff said.

I ran without one and had my boost @9psi. Keep in mind that if you have a boost controller, you will be tempted to turn it up more often and this could cause a failure in the car faster (engine, tranny, rear end, etc???).

I agree that HKS is the way to go....if you do.

And just to add, the boost will come on faster with a boost controller. Running spring pressure, it will crack before you hit target boost. It makes boost onset a little less abrupt, but most people with turbos want to get on-boost as quickly as possible.

We sell MBC's very well priced and they work awesome.

PM and ill give you a deal on them

I have a Blitz SBC ID-3 and I like it. Everyone goes with the HKS. I've heard of no complaints regarding either unit.

Had a EVC 5 in my 350z for 7 years and just moved it to my 370z a month ago, working well.

The SBC ID is another great boost controller. I had one in a previous car, it worked flawlessly. I thought the EVC5 looks a littler nicer, mine is the older one that is silver and lights up with a blue backlight and white letters... the newer EVCs dont light up as nice... I think they are just dim white with black digits like a casio watch
