#65336, "Need a cheap but dependable boost controller..."




          

That's right, I want cheap and dependable. Does such a boost controller exist?

I'm not looking for anything fancy like the electronic models. I just want a really cheap boost controller that I can manually set and leave alone. I'm upgrading from my current HRC stage 1 setup to a HRC SMIC but am keeping my current wastegate spring in and only boosting 5-6 psi. So I need something to up the boost a bit after the pressure drop through the IC.

I checked out MachV and the cheapest they had was a Hallman ES for $69.00. Anyone had any experience with this baby? Should I check out ebay?

Hallman and Joe P are both good boost controllers. Reliable and fairly inexpensive.

check out he hi-lo dual controller. its great for wwd, you can switch from your wastegate setting when you have traction to whatever the boost controller is set at. i used this for a while before i got my hks evc-ez. its great, rock solid boost control. highly recommend it. and for the money its unbeatable.
