Well I just bought an AMS 35r kit. And was wondering if i should go w/ a normal AMS Manual boost controller, Hallmans kind or buschurs kind... Not really know what to make up my mind for.

or the NEW HKS EVC 6 electronic boost controller.


what do you guys think... Is it really necessary to have a good boost controller w/ a 35r ... or would i better be off and saving my extra 400 im going to be spending and just get a normal MBC...

I have searched and searched this but i have yet to find my answers......

 

A quality MBC is fine. The ones you listed should all work well. I also like Turbosmart products.

 

they should work just fine like ryelou said

 

so a normal MBC would work better... I have also heard that you dont really need one if u have an external wastegate... but o well. i guess i'll still need one to go up or down. ha.

but thanks guys. just have to see which one i like better andmoney wise since im broke knoe... lol

 

Like some other ppl said, a quality MBC is fine, but a EBC is a better option.

Why do you think it cost so much? Manufacturers don't make them simply as a convenience item. They can hold boost more consistenly and at a precise boost level unlike some MBC that fluctuates up and down the boost level that is set to, some more than others.

They also include features like logging capabilities so you can monitor how fast your turbo spools to full boost and some of them can show you the amount of boost that your holding at a specific RPM on a nice little graph.

They are also able to datalog: Boost, AFM input, AFM output, throttle position, RPM, injector duty cycle, boost control solenoid duty cycle, any 2 digital signals (wideband O2, narrowband O2, etc), any 2 analog signals (speed, knock sensor, etc).

So you see "there's more than meets the eye" kind of deal going on here than just working as a simple tool for controlling boost.

 

cant go wrong with a tried and true good ol hallman.

 

im either going w/ hallmans in cabin one or the hks evc 6 not really sure.... its either MBC or EBC....
