Should we use boost controlers?
I was wondering if boost controlers were applicable for gasoline engines. I dont know much about them but my friends told me that they were a waste of money because they can cause your car to run to lean because you are forcing to much air in the engine and not compensating with fuel. I was wondering if this was true or if they were blowing me a bunch of crap. I know you guys out there have them so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Also I was wondering what the best boost controler was or what everyone uses. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Is there a site or a post on here that basically tells boost controllers functions in detail. I mean I know they are to control boost but to what extent and practicality do they serve. I just want some detailed info that says what boost controllers do and how they do it and effects that they have on our cars. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

If you are going to use a boost controller other the the factory BC, then you should use an EMI module from vishnu or a reprogramed ECU. With those mods and uppipe you won't run lean and your EGT will stay under control. The major advantage to the Electronic BC or Manual BC is they give boost at partial throttle and builds boost faster.
