it's just as good as any other EBC....but you gotta tweak it more.....I got one and I love it...and yes, regardless of anything, you should get a boost gauge anyways....

Profec B

I loved this until someone touched it. It worked great.
After somesome must has unintentionally moved the High Boost setting I started getting spiking again .

I have been playing with it for the last month to get it back to where it was. Its almost perfect, but honestly a pain in the *** if you dont have a dyno to waste time on.
I would recommend it based on price, and functions, but it is definately a pain to configure. Wish there was a lock setting.

Good luck!

really?? Do other who own this boost controller feel the same way. In the future I will be getting a boost controller and like to have computers and electronics control my car (perhaps cause I am an IT guy) as opposed to getting the cheaper 'better' manual one.

I liked mine, but it started screwing up. It wouldnt hold boost. I tried all different settings, but nothing worked. I just moved to a hallman and I'm happier now.

i have an oldschool blitz and its a set-once and forget type of thing. farily easy to use once you figure out it adjusts boost in percentages instead of psi. usually if your boost gfauge and ebc read differently, the gauge is the one thats incorrect...

Even if you don't like gauges, there's no option around that...YOU WILL NEED TO GET A BOOST GAUGE FIRST FOR SAFETY REASONS...What's the reason for boostn when you can't even read how much boost you're building?

What.

You don't want a boost gauge in your turbo car? Do you realize what a dumb statement this is?

The profec's boost gauge is innacurate. You NEED a boost gauge while tuning it or you risk damage to your engine. Get a *******ed boost gauge and put it in your glovebox, that is the silliest **** I have ever heard.
