which Boost Controller?
which Boost Controller?
I just picked up the Helix TB Exhaust and I'm sending away for the DynoFlash next week. It looks like the next bang-for-the-buck mod would be a boost controller. I got a couple questions about that and am unclear about a few things...
1. Go Manual or Electronic. Can anybody suggest one type over the other and the advantages/disadvantages taking price into consideration?
2. What do most people have their boost controllers set to?
3. Any danger in holding boost to redline on stock bottom end?
4. Thanks in advance everybody.

Just don't get a Profec B - Spec II. Too many are faulty.
I've heard great things about the HKS EVC, TurboSmart E-Boost, and the Perf. Enterprise Boost Controller. If you like manual, the Hallman Pro RX with heavy spring is supposedly the best.
My boost controller is tuned for 20.5 PSI. When I get my E-Boost in and retuned with cams, I'm shooting for 22 PSI.
The only way you'll danger your block is if you run dangerously lean. Get the car tuned. I'd recommend a 255 lph Walbro for a safety margin.

Gonna have to agree with Bonus here.
The spec II has been ripped by quite a few.
The Hallman on the other hand, was not holding steady boost for quite a few users until people put the heavy spring in. I have run the heavy spring from the get-go, and it holds 21 all the way to 7k.
