i have a garret t25 with an internal wastegate...what i want to know is if i can use an electronic boost controller with the stock wastegate, or do i need to disable/get rid of the internal gate and get a "real" gate?

i want to controll boost creep as much as possible and i am not sure if an internal gate is the best way to go.

thanks

 

to control ur boost creep an external is the best route. but u can use the stock gate with the ebc if u wanted to. more effecient with an external.

 

Just get a manual boost controller, cheap as ---- and install and use is a breeze

 

i agree, i'd buy one and not make my own. like a turbo xs mbc. i have one at 11psi stock int. w/g set at 6.5psi. no boost creep or boost spikes. you have to give the wategate it's own vacuume source like T it off the pcv valve.

 

I have a Greddy Profec B spec II I just installed and I tuned out all the boost spike and the boost stays rock solid where ever I chosse to set it. EBC is the way to go.

 

if yours a baller and have that kind of money to spend on it go for it. But using a MBC is really easy to install (electronic are not) and you can save yourself a grip of cash.

I bought my JoeP MBC brand new off of ebay for $23 shipped

 

I see JoeP "style" boost controllers. I think most people can put these together for under 20 bucks. :P I'm lazy and will probably buy an ebay one.

 

i don't mind spending the dough on the ebc...i was planning on getting an apexi avc-r because i like the gear specific boost settings that it has.

 

For the record, you can be half retarded and install an EBC. All you need is 12+, ground and plug in the solenoid. Other than that, its just vacuum lines.

 

Oh and good luck tuning out a boost spike with an MBC!
