Manual vs Electronic Boost Controller

[tmeyer29]

Obviosly a Electronic Boost Controller is going to be more user friendly but is it really worth the extra your going to pay over a manual controller? what are some pros and cons of each

[evildky]

there are 2 types of manual boost controllers one is a bleed type and a restrictor type, both can allow boost creep the problem real is they are not very accurate and you have to dial them by trial and error, the JWT remapped ships (recomended if your gonna run more boost), use boost jet which is basically a restrictor type but not adjustable, electronic uses a fast acting valve and is very acurate but also very expensive,, the other option is to use a larger wategate actuator factory set to the amount of boost you want to run, or an expernal wastegate with replacable springs to tune the pressure, and again with any of these if you plan to run extra bost you should get a remapped ecu or stand alone to allow for extra fuel and spark retard under the higher boost levels

In my opinion, electronic boost controllers are the only way to go.

yeah if you care about your system, and you spent enough to get a turbo car, spend the extra 100 bucks for a top of the line electronic controller. They usually have way more features and are adjustable on the fly.

If you have no boost jets in such case as a conversion, you could do a single solenoid electronic controller T'd off but HKS and Greddy recommend buying a second actuator.

Up to you in the end, any combination can work, but I perfer the efficiency of electronic
