hey guys i bought a greddy profec e-01 boost controller. is it necessary to get it dyno tuned while installing it?? Is it a good idea to have a electronic boost controller at the first place anyway? what's the benefit of a electronic boost controller?? and if you have a aftermarket ecu do you still need a boost controller??? There are many perfomance shops been telling me not to get one, and some of them tell me to, so i just want to hear you guys opinion. i have VF29 turbo on my gc8, BOV catback 3' exhaust.
cheers

aftermarket ecu's dont need boost controller,
if it does need a boost controller, then its a crappy ecu...

So you're telling us you already bought it, and now you're asking whether its a good idea, the benefits, and what to do with it?

I'd say its a waste of time, but thats just me.

yea i bought it for a good deal. so would you guys please tell me the benefit please? and do you think it is a good idea to get a e-manage ultimate to go with it?? rather than power fc or otehr edu, considering price!!!

yep...

powerfc's can control boost. you can buy the apexi boost solenoid or you can use like a mac 3port or probably the stock one aswsell.

Thats news to me i knew that you could buy the Apexi boost thing but last i checked was around 250-300 so you might aswell just get a EBC like a profec B or something.

Every car i have seen with PFC has a EBC aswell.

just easier probably.

APEXI Powerfc boost solenoid unit is shit... as i have been told by many dyno tuners and users....

better of with a aftermarket one preferably blitz dsbc.... otherwise MoTeC

Forget about all these people, don't know what they are talking about. Just use the electronic boost controller + fuel cut defender, wind it up to what ever boost you want, care will be fine mate.

ps: try search.
