BCS without tune?

***BoostJunkie*** · 12-07-2005, 05:29 PM

I just got my Prodrive 3-port boost solenoid and I am wondering if I can install and run it without tuning for it (for the time being). I will be getting tuned sometime in the next couple of weeks but I'm not exactly sure when. Is it safe, or do i need to wait until my car is going in to be tuned?

***BoostJunkie*** · 12-07-2005, 08:41 PM

I did a little research and answered my own question. I would like to run this in interrupt mode, which would mean I NEED to tune for it before doing any real driving, but I'm confused as to how to install it this way. the perrin ebcs has clearly labeled ports but this doesn't. anyone know which port is which?

I'm thinking about purchasing one...i think the hks evc limited ed. What can you guys tell me about boost controllers?

dlouie87 · 12-07-2005, 10:27 PM

sorry....wrong forum....let me move it...

dlouie87 · 12-07-2005, 10:29 PM

I'm looking at getting a ebc from hks...i think the evc black version. Um...my car is stock now except suspension......but i'm thinking about turbo back later when i get it.

can you guys acknowledge me with more info on this subject?

What other mods do you have?

I went with the Turbo XS Dtec. It has gear base boost maps so I can hit full boost in the lower gears then dial it back when the engine loads in 5th and 6th. I also like the fact that I can have a switch to set another boost map when my wife drives the car

Your money is better spent on ECU tuning (Cobb AP or ECUTek) or a piggyback system (UTEC).

Dude your stock, no need, put that money towards EM and get a custom tune

***evilSTi7*** · 12-07-2005, 10:53 PM

DO NOT get a boost controller. the only time its ok is if you get tuned for it, and you really dont need one untill you get a new turbo

***evilSTi7*** · 12-07-2005, 10:54 PM

did you really have to start 2 threads for this?
