stock ecu is enough, but needs EBC and a fuel cutoff bypass to use the extra boost. When I bought the car, it was lacking these mods, so it would boost up to 12-15PSI and then hit fuel cutoff. It also had other issues though, vacuum leaks and a jury-rigged recirculator... I'm cutting that out and replacing it with a proper BOV and adding in the EBC and cutoff bypass before I button her back up.
Good to know.underscore":1zsvgd23 said:Fuel cutoff is 14.7psi on 165's and 185's. . .
Ha Ha, yeah true and I love it!underscore":1zsvgd23 said:A BOV just makes a pretty sound
I like that too, I plan on installing one. Which one do you have?underscore":1zsvgd23 said:Personally I like my EBC because it can ut the boost back to the stock wastegate pressure if it detects a problem.

EvilStig":2izytu5k said:I'm installing one to help reduce stress on the engine and manifold. Too much boost when letting off on the gas is bad. And I'm having issues with a lean condition as it is.
underscore":aeqo08p0 said:Pressures slightly above the stock fuel cut shouldn't be a risk to the manifold or anything else. If you're running lean I'd fix the actual problem instead of trying to use a BOV as some kind of bandaid.
underscore":g3pdv7cu said:I've got the Innovate SCG-1. It's a boost gauge, boost controller and wideband all in one. The upside of that is that it can cut boost if it detects a spike in boost pressure or that you're running too lean. It's takes a bit more work to set up than a "point and shoot" boost controller but I like the added protection.
