Boost Controller

yes it is a good idea, if you want to go electronic then buy it. if not then a simple mbc will do you just fine.

The AVCR is awesome. I had one in 2 of my DSMs back in the day, and never had issues. It's easy to use once you get it set up properly. Make sure you read through the user's guide.

I heard their a pain to install, but I also heard that its a great product.

Go manual. Like Faber said, you'll just keep upping the boost...and it's usually all downhill from there.

[JN210]

Alright, manual it is then.

Thanks

Sell you mine for 25 bucks. its a manual one, the same style as they sell at SLS.

There's nothing better than pushing a few buttons to switch between boost settings. Manual ones are a pain in the ass to get set properly and you never really know how much you're actually turning it up. AVCR isn't that hard to put in either, as long as you have a little knowledge on wiring and vaccum lines.

well being that hes putting this on a NA motor, and using a pussy T3 turbo the most boost he will be able to run is about 6-7psi, so its not like hes gonna be adjusting it all the time. BTW, if you have any intelligence, dont put ANY type of boost controler on it until you upgrade alot of other stuff. Stock boost with the T3 is 4.5 psi, leave it there or youll just blow it up. Thats a whopping 220hp BTW, and the T3 will max out around 300hp, at the crank, not the wheels.
On second note, your NA auto trans is gonna be shot in a couple weeks anyway, the turbo auto uses a different stall converter with a higher stall and no lockup, plus bigger clutch packs and valving. We had a hard time getting NA autos to hold on jasons car when it was NA, with cams and headers with 200hp, good luck

Cause he is responsible for making sure that you know everything you need to. God forbid you should have to do your own research.

lol, thanks. Well....Josh....i got a looooooong road ahead lol. This will be good time to spend with the family eh? this will go over well with our dad...."hey dad, guess what?....I bought a turbo and now I need a manual Tranny!!"

This will be a good opportunity to swap to a manual as well....

[Grr]

well its worth a try, it will hold for awhile anyway, just take it easy on the shifts. i wouldnt worry about it until it starts slipping. BTW, its a pretty low mile unit im guessing

His first mod needs to be an auto to manual swap and I also said in a post the non turbo trans does not Hold much more power than the non turbo makes :icon_brilsmurf:

^O snap!

And research pwnz! Read on the z31 forum, dont post questions. spend a month reading. before you even pull your car aprat for turbo parts, make it a 5-speed.

Id stay away from an EBC..... or else you will learn your lesson

too easy to change, "oh whats 2 more psi".... boom
