Boost Controller Question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was thinking about getting the Profec B Spec II boost controller for my Redtop powered 240. I was wondering if that would be sufficient enough for a boost gauge or should I get an external one? Also it this boost controller efficient or should I look for something else? It's not too expensive so I think it would be perfect. Thanks for the help. I was going to mount it right above my gauge pod so I can see it easy so that's not a problem I was just wondering if the boost readings are accurate enough for tuning.

The profec b is one of the more reliable electronic boost controllers out there for the $$. You should be good.

I would say that the boost gauge built into most ebc's is probably better than a manual/pneumatic gauge

id have to agree with the above.

yes you'll be fine with the Profec B.. Just make sure you do not buy it from Ebay or an unauthorized GReddy dealer cause you will not receive any warranty or tech. help...If you need to locate a auth. dealer in PA area either goto www.greddy.com or you can call the following locations for good pricing and service.

I have one for sale if you're interested.
Although I dont know the cost on shipping.
Im in ca. I'll give it to you for 50 bux cheaper than what you'll pay or less.

Id' say always get an external one, also.
even thought the ebc does have a good boost reader, (also most shops usually also say to have a separate guage too)
I have that boost controller, and it is always a little off, I have had 3 different guages to test and they showed pretty similar boost, but the controller always showed less.
also if having a vac leak or maybe not installed corectly, would be good to have a separate guage just to be sure.
