Contact me also about pricing... Do they come in a PSI reading?? I'm not a fan of bar readings because I have no idea how to calculate it into PSI readings... If the price is right I'd be interested for sure... Please get back to me Z1

bar to psi couldn't be easier! 1 bar = 14.7 psi.

The Power Enterprise one is only offered in BAR, sorry.

I always thought 1 bar was 14.5 psi, why do I always see occasional posts where people say 1 bar is 14.7psi???

You win a cookie . As was stated in another thread, 1 bar = 14.5psi ... 1 atmosphere = 14.7psi.

I got the Greddy e-01 for a few reasons. One, it got really good reviews in comparison testing with so many other BC's. Two, it has a nice LCD which provides a boost guage (displayed 4 different ways) which saves you money and space for the guage. Three, it's designed specifically to work with the e-manage. Not to mention it's cool looking. Reads PSi too.

Turbosmart e-boost.... this thingy keeps your boost relatively constant with almost no fluctuation down the RPMs... damn good stuff... http://www.turbosmart.com.au/AutoSpe...Boost_Eval.htm

The guy who said MBC's are garbage must have had a bad experience with one. EBC's are too expensive and are a hassle to install. I am also weary of electronics. What if they go wrong? Anyways, I had a Hallman, old model, on my 91 GSX. I put on in 1998 and had it set to 15 psi. Had it on up to the time I traded it in on Oct. 2002. Probably still on. But it never overboosted, never dropped off, and stayed constant even in changes in weather. Never had to adjust. It would hit 15 and just stick there.

I love my Joe P mbc. It is really constant. Only thing that I notice is in 1st-3rd the boost will be 1psi lower then 4th-5th. I really like it besides that. No spikes and really easy to adjust and use. There's also an electronic control unit that can be bought so you can adjust it from in the cab with a push of a button. Pretty much a 1/4 turn equals about 1psi.
