I have a ball and spring MBC...it's good, but I'd like to keep the WG shut until the point of no return. I can hear the WG open up a few psi before it's fully open.



Electronics is the way to do this...springs just can't.



I like the ease of the MBC. Two vacuum lines and no wires or solenoids or boost sensors. Very clean and reliable. That's about the only advantage I can think of.



I don't see an EBC making my times at an AutoX event any better, so I'll probably stick with the MBC.

i saw quicker boost with an avc-r than i did with just the wastegate not to mention being able to flip from mode a to b instantly...

That's what I use. You can change back and forth anytime even under boost at WOT. I had the AVC-R but I like the ease of my dual stage MBC.

Thumbs down

This is the one I have , its one of the best so far ! , much better than the more expensive HKS or Greddy.



The e-Boost electronic boost management system is the culmination of many years of research, development and innovation, with countless hours spent testing on the dyno, the race track and the drag strip. The e-Boost is the worlds first re-programmable boost controller utilising FLASH memory technology, making it compatible with future software upgrades, meaning your e-Boost will never be out-dated. The e-Boost is more than just the best performing electronic boost controller, it is a complete boost management system, making Turbosmart a world leader in boost control systems. This revolutionary product is loaded with features, squeezed into a package small enough to fit in the palm of your hand:



The latest in Hi-tech electronics, featuring a 16 bit RISC based FLASH memory CPU – faster and smoother boost response

Utilises the latest in surface mount technology – lighter, smaller and ultra compact

Electronics are housed in an anodised billet aluminium alloy housing – offering durability and reliability in harsh race conditions

Programmable gate pressure function to totally eliminate wastegate creep - you tell the wastegate when to open

Three internally or externally activated and individually programmable boost set points

Drag racers - improve your launch, run a different boost in each gear

High accuracy boost and vacuum display, readout accurate to within +/- 0.5% of full scale, boost gauge no longer required – great value

Readout can be tailored to suit your needs – display can be configured in KPA, Bar or PSI

Easy to read seven segment display with programmable bar graph and glow in the dark buttons

Programmable auxiliary output – e.g. water spray control, water/methanol injection, boost light

Programmable audible warning alarm – excellent for over-boost warning or full boost confirmation

Peak hold/Max Boost recall function

Revolutionary gauge type construction allows many practical mounting solutions – 66mm in diameter 55mm long. Suitable for Panel mounting, or in any 2 5/8 inch gauge pod or pillar mounting system.
