Re: What boost controller to use?
I ran a Greddy Profec B in my old volvo. I loved it and i'll be getting one for the TY when the time comes. Easy to use and very reliable. Boost was very solid even with the stock integral gate. The new ones have a hi/low boost switch that mounts on the steering wheel, and they also have a boost pressure read out. Here is a pic of it...

Re: What boost controller to use?
Thanks for sharing on what your using for boost controller.What i have right now is a brand name called Boost Coommand worked great for my old pte52 with internal wastegate.I was just wonding if it would work the same for me external wastegate?
I'm going to have Simpson Automotive from Pasco WA build my motor.They work on differant kinds of muscle cars and drag cars.So they are my best bet.I was thinking of having my tranny build by Dave Splett form Lynwood.

Re: What boost controller to use?
The boost controller should work the same with either style gate as long as you are not at the limit with the stock gate. However, with an external gate you have to be sure you have the correct spring for the baseline boost. I am not sure how to do this but I know there are other guys here that know a ton about this stuff.
As far as the motor goes, make sure the guys are familiar with building turbo motors. My buddy builds 1500hp nitrous V8's all day long and openly admits he really doesnt know much about turbos and or sizing a build for one. Also make sure they can build an SyTY specific tranny. you might want to consider having a member do your tranny (jwaller or george blake just to name a few) or at least get in touch with them for info :2cents: good luck

Re: What boost controller to use?
I have a new HKS EVC on my syclone, controlling a pte51. I cant say Ive been very impressed with it, and its considerably more expensive. Its cheaper feeling, doesnt seem to be as steady, and it tends to freak-out occasionally.
Id go with a profec. There is a new version of it, the type s, that is only slightly more expensive but can handle higher max pressure.
I run a profec B on one of my other cars. Very simple to use, inexpensive, and highly recommended.mmp142965 said:I ran a Greddy Profec B in my old volvo.

Re: What boost controller to use?
I've been thinking about getting this one--do you have any pics of how/where you mounted it? And how long did it take you to hook it up?

Re: What boost controller to use?
Dave is a good guy and has personally done my tranny...i have had no problems with it at all. I know he has done Rolands and one other guy who isn't around any more...i'm sure there is more. Good choice.
I know you are on the east side which makes things difficult, but Dale Green is a good guy and known builder in WA...I know he did Larry's vortec heads not to long ago, according to Roland.
Ask Roland and a few guys what they think of Dale.
