<![CDATA[Boost controlling]]>Well I have never had to use a boost controler before, cuz my turbo now had a differnt actuator that runs the correct boost. Anyways, I want to know what I should get, there are a ton of them. Adv/Dis adv of the boost controllers. I can spend up to 400 bucks if there is a reason too, but if there isn't then I won't. I have an external wastegate with a 9psi Spring in it and I want to increase the boost to 18psi and that is it... but I don't want boost spikes and or drops in boost for any reason. Just want to run this boost and leave it there. Is there better contorlers for quicker spool or is that just a bunch of crap, and if you know alot about this, try to explain how differnt ones work. They range from like 50-400. Thanks in advance for any information.

better to go with higher boost than lower boost?

Haha, duh! No, depends on what you are turboing, what turbo, etc. Lets hear some details. But definately a tial is the way to go.

One more thing what is this thing about wastegate creep or whatever it is called, do i need to worry about that? Worry about my wastegate not allowing my turbo to spool as fast or is that more for non external wastegated turbo set ups?

Go with the Tial 38mm with the 18.xx spring. What are you putting this on? You mentioned a 1.3l engine, you will not have to worry about creep with a 38mm gate at ~18psi. This would be a perfect setup for you.

My fuel is set for 18psi but then i am going to fine tune just a bit, witch spring should i go with?

Check w/ straight line for an actual price.

Rock steady huh, sounds like the ticket, it will be an extra 150 from what I can tell. so... could maybe do it.

Any info would be great... I am having nick weld a flange on there anyways for the turbo I'm sure it wouldnt be too hard to reweld a flange on there for a tial wastegate... just more money for no reason ya know... but ya give me some info

Maybe you will be better suited w/ a TiAL wastegate. I have never been a fan of turbonetics wastegates.

What are the advantages of the electronic boost controlers?

True, but if you want to be able to make real time adjustments and change the boost settings from inside the car, an ebc might be better.
