How do you like the EVC-S? I'm trying to decide between the EVC-S and the EVC-6.

I like it a lot, its fairly simple to setup but provides enough settings to tune the solenoid to control boost well. The S is much cheaper, but it does not allow for per gear/speed boost control like the EVC-6 does, which may or may not be useful depending on your setup.

I have a 3.5 FD and I still have trouble hooking in 2nd at 12psi with 305 RE-11's. With my built engine I plan on running 18psi high boost, so it would likely be beneficial to run less boost in 1st and 2nd for example. I'm going to go through quite a lot of tires next summer.

Very good to know! I think the EVC-6 is maybe $300 more. Not a big deal after all the money spent to get here. I didn't know about the gear/speed boost control. I don't plan on racing, but I do know first gear will be useless... might be worth it to get the EVC-6.

Rep'd.

Just FYI - I plan on going a little different route with my gauge/monitoring setup, so will be selling my PLX setup. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. I will try to get a For Sale thread going today or tomorrow. Here is what I have currently:

-DM-100 OBD II color screen gauge
-Wide Band AF Module
-Vacuum/Boost Module
-Fluid Pressure (Oil) Module
-All cables/interconnects

Just one. The module has two inputs, but I only bought one sensor. Everything is still on the car currently, but it won't take me long to take it off. All of it has been used for less than a year (less than 5k miles).
