** NEED HELP WITH BOOSTCONTROLLER>>SUGGESTIONS NEEDED thx!**

I wanted to buy a EBC but my defi reads that i can hold 17-18 psi and occasional spikes to 20psi. Is it worth to get an EBC in my situation? current mods i have dwnpipe+test+catback exhaust, intake,LICP. Say i can get a EBC for $350, will it give 5-10whp? Suggestions anyone?? thx thx thx

well everyone i know, including myself like to run 22psi MAX... so that extra 2-4 pounds could give you what ur looking for.. but dont go over 22! you can but 22 is pretty safe if u ask me

without getting tuned for extra boost it's not going to do anything power wise but increase the chances of running lean

mbc's work just fine...your issue seems unclear

do a boost leak test before you assume anything

if you get a MBC for 90 bucks and a tune for 200, you get more power for cheaper than a EBC.
