Elect. Bost Controller - Focaljet

**pocus** · 10-02-2007, 07:45 PM

Alright I'm looking into getting a new boost controller. I'm trying to save a bit of money but at the same time i want something that works well. I know the whole you get what you pay for and stuff like that.

I found this EBC on ebay and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them, weather actual experience or if you know someone who has one and how well they function.

let me know what you think

i'm looking to stay under 300 for a good boost controller.

any suggestions are welcome

**orangeZXT** · 10-02-2007, 07:50 PM

go with the Greddy type S it works great and its easy to use

i dont know much about the one u posted

**polarisman14** · 10-02-2007, 07:50 PM

I would go with the E-boost 2...if you can find one in the classifieds or something you may be able to find one under 300. this is a place where you don't want to cheap out, unregulated boost = potential engine failure.

that one looks like my greedy pro B spec II its a knock off... it has all the same stuff as mine even down to the filter

**ClintB1321** · 10-02-2007, 10:47 PM

i agree with polarisman14, if your going to go with an electronic
boost controller, put the money forth to get a top quality one.
The Eboost2 is definatly worth the $500 retail, i'll admit its not
the most user friendly but its definatly a quality unit with alot
of useful features. The only other boost controllers i'd recommend
would be the Blitz SBC-i color, or the newest HKS EVC.

**paulhaskew** · 10-02-2007, 10:48 PM

probably a china knock off... I would stick with the name brand ones when it comes to this type of device... Its your money and your motor, but I wouldn't risk it...

**FocusSportVP** · 10-02-2007, 10:49 PM

I've gotta recommend the eBoost2, works great on our cars.

We sell it if you need it, too.

**pocus** · 10-03-2007, 06:29 PM

well i bought a greddy profec B spec II brand new in the box I'm sure it will work more than good enough

**orangeZXT** · 10-03-2007, 08:20 PM

i had ALOT of trouble with that greddy unit i sold it and got the Type S

**ClintB1321** · 10-03-2007, 08:29 PM

I dont have much faith in the greddy $300ish boost controllers. I know Paul
Haskews has had success with his greddy unit but alot of my immidiate non
focus friends who have used the greddys have not been satisfied and have
moved on to other boost controllers.

**orangeZXT** · 10-03-2007, 08:35 PM

i have had great luck with the greddy Type S, i think this is what orangeSVT uses as well

**pocus** · 10-03-2007, 08:53 PM

well this is more of a temporary thing anyways. I'm looking more towards a 500+ boost controller I'm just on a tiny bit of a budget until i get my new manifold, DP and turbo on.

**paulhaskew** · 10-03-2007, 10:53 PM

I have the Greddy Type S boost controller which is what Clint is referring too... I would highly recommend it, but its the only electronic boost controller I have used...

yep, My type S has performed PERFECTLY.... and I also bought the Greddy Remote switching system for it as well.... Its nice to switch from low boost to high boost with a push of a button on the steering wheel.
