How exactly does an E Boost Controller work?
I've heard that Electronic Boost controllers are far superior than none, but I was wondering how it works exactly. Do all the vac lines run to and from it or... how the f.uck do these things work. I wanna get one, but I wanna know how it works first. Thanks.

I'm sure you've seen enough to know what they are made of, and what the display and controls can do for you.
The advantage of the electronics (aside from that user friendly ---- like settings) is they don't act like your typical bleed type screw boost controller.. meaning they eleminate boost creep (similar to the hallman pro controller).
The main concern is, do you really want to trust your whole setup to a pile of circuits and solnoids?

Sounds like an old man making fun of an engine with an ecu.

lol
Still, my carbed motor has that much electrical stuff init. When the machines take over, Ill get in my car, go to start it and the doors will lock and it'll drive itself of a bridge
Dont ask me how
And EBCs allow you to control boost from inside the car. Some manual ones do aswell, but they dont look near as cool as the Tronic ones

damn,make me sound like a real geezer.
it's not that i don't trust them, but if they do malfunction, you could easily ---- your ---- up... I'm cheap so I'll stick with a hallman pro remote manual boost controller.

boost creep? quadnie, I'm pretty sure boost creep comes from a wastegate that can't flow enough fully open. 
I'm not sure what the advantages of running a EBC, but my guess would be, you can controll everything more precisely and from insde the car? and also have traction controll, things like that?

Re:How exactly does an E Boost Controller work?
you can have staged boost. difrent presure levels for diffrent gears and rpm levels. there pretty badass but i dont know if i would trust one ether. expecialy like the greedy profec the hks one isint any better id take the profec over the evc anyday.

oh and the hks evc returns your car to stock boost "what your wastegate is set to" if it ***** up or turns off. i think the greedy one does too but if for some reason it just errored and shut your vac line off you would be stuck at full boost and i could see that happening if ther was a power surge or some random thing like that, but you always could and should put an inline fuse on somthing like that.

Re:How exactly does an E Boost Controller work?
Ok, so it's electronic and it controls the boost. I know that much. What I'm trying to find out is, It blocks the wastegate from seeing the boost until the desired boost is reached, but then it does what? When it sends a pressure to the wastegate to regulate it at the desired level, how does it do that not knowing that the original spring is set to
? It just sounds really confusing how it could be that precise with everything.

Re:How exactly does an E Boost Controller work?
im pretty sure you run a vac line and in paralell with the hose that goes to the waist gate. so it can read how much boost is being put down like a boost guage and it has a valve that opens and shuts just like a manual boost controler exept electronicly controled.
