yes, but can it do this..."It can be used to provide LOW, MID, and HIGH boost stages for your street vehicle or creating a separate stage for each gear in a drag race application"?
the only reason i liek teh turbosmart is cause i can just drop it in the gauge pod and then theres no need to have a boost gauge and controller separate...

Yep...both are a couple of the reasons I went with the EBoost 2.
Overall, It is cheaper to get the Eboost system, than to buy another Controller and boost gauge seperately.

i like how when i bought the car all u saw was the turbo timer sitting on the steering column and the boost gauge on the pillar. boost controller was hidden.
the turbo timer is coming off and id hate to have something sitting somewhere visible attracting more attention.

let me know how that boost controller works for ya. any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

i vote for a profec b2
the apexi avcr is great controller except its alittle hard to program and takes some time. good for turbos that dont like to have a linear spool and boost responce. lots of adjustablity
blitz SBC id this has got to be one of the easiest contorllers to use, set the boost let it learn (beat on the car a few times) and it will hold your boost settign solid.
eboost2 i have never used it and have no idea what it is
the profec b2 is a great cheap boost controller, might be alittle confusing for some to setup as the directions that it comes with are a direct translation form the japanese language and they dont make much sence. this boost controller has some problems controlling small turbos with non restrictive exhausts that like to spike and boost to whatever level they want to (would be hard to setup a consitent boost level maybe even impossible). with bigger turbos this boost controller is perfect, solid boost levels, low and high boost setting switched easily with one button. cheap alternative to the avcr and the sbcid.
if money is no object i would go with avcr or the sbcid.

I have personally owned or installed and used all of these mentioned. I like the E-Boost and the E-Boost2 the best because it is so simple. Just a simple gauge and solenoid, instructions are simple, and there are outputs on the E-Boost2! I mean, it can be a tach, boost gauge, shift light if you buy the ring that goes around it, nitrous control, methanol control or water mister control! It has 6 mapping functions, overboost dump protection, holds boost at higher rpm, etc.

I vote for the apexi avcr. Rock solid, never had a problem with it. The features like gear judge allow you to manipulate teh duty cycle based on RPM for that specific gear. So if you know you are constantly burning the wheels coming out of a coner on the track you can ramp the boost such that it comes on a bit softer for the second you need to get the car pointed straight again.

I just got a blitz dual solenoid... Best control I have tried yet, the most stable boost I have ever datalogged, no waves, no drops, no spikes, and by far the sharpest boost curve I have ever experienced...
I have used the turbosmart mbc stuff, profec's and haltech boost control, for the purchase of the blitz I did some research, asked a couple of big name guys I know in Japan and everything pointed to the blitz...
The profec b is a good choice for stock turbos with quick response, but it does have a problem with large turbos with lag, the gain has to be overset somewhat to get a boost curve comparable to other controllers, which then leads to overboosting, then if you set the boost lower to put up with the spike from the gain setting, on slow boost up it results in lower than desired boost...
With the blitz, the gain, has little effect on the peak boost, but does affect the sharpeness considerably, I started off with the gain high as all boost junkies do with big turbos to get the hit, but ended up softening the curve to limit traction loss through the midrange..
The haltech boost control was ok, but for some reason the ecu decided when boost was going to happen, it was either 7 psi or 20 psi, with no rhyme or reason to its picking of which one... Tapping the gas just prior to boosting would seem to pick 20 psi.. Must be a bug in the firmware on the e6k..
The turbosmart mbc stuff was crap, to inconsistent from day to day..
The other EBC I ran was a profec A, fuzzy logic indeed, so fuzzy even greddy couldnt understand it, very wavy boost and not worth the time of day..Maxt

Is this the Blitz SBC Type R that you are talking about? Have been looking at one of these or the Profec S.
Anyone have any thoughts on these two?
