Yes, I know there are 2 pages of ISIS threads.. I looked at every one of them and the EBC was never mentioned.

What I would like to know is if anyone has used this yet? I don't know too much about EBCs and I'd like to see some reviews on this. The things I would like to know are how reliable is it? (Boost spike any?) How hard is the install? Any other things that might be worth mentioning.

Also, I looked at name brand products, and using the cheapest ones, it's over $600 compared to the $200 for the ISIS.

You already know most guys are going to say, "You get what you pay for" and "Isis is the same as ebay crap".Being a really new item, I don't think there'll be too many people who has them. Enjuku are great guys and have been around the 240 scene longer than most the people on here. I do know that they stand by thei Isis product. It looks like installation will be the same as your normal ebc's out there. I personally went with a Greddy Profec Type S a few years ago and got it for $300. Installation was easy, setting up the boost controller was simple, and it doesn't spike or creep on me at all.

I'm completely new to the whole ebc thing but the only thing I can see that would affect price is user friendliness and boost creep. If it uss the same solenoid as the rest of the ebcs (greddy, hks, apexi) I think it mostly comes down to how user friendly it is. And yes I know the whole get what you pay for. This is why I bought my 3071R brand new. My FMIC is greddy, my radiator is Koyo, and my BOV is HKS. You won't find a single non name brand part in my car. I haven't read a single bad review on any isis product yet aside from their intake manis having to be modified... I'd just like to hear at least ONE review on this product. I read some reviews about the greddy profecs being hard to setup before.

I'm not saying you're cheaping out on your parts. I'm just stating that you get the same typical responses in these threads that are pretty much useless. As far as the solenoid goes, the isis one and the one that came with my Greddy one do look a like, but I couldn't tell you for sure if they are the same or not. My solenoid looks just like the one on this Greddy Profec B

My shop has installed two ISIS EBC/TT's and neither customer has come back with complaints. That is a good thing, right?
