why does the truboost suck? I have 3 boost settings with one button. No spiking or anything...seems to be PERFECT.

edit : are you all talking boost by gear?

I had one but I had several issues with it on my setup with respect to the lack of features, that I see as necessary for anything bigger than the Greddy kit. I even called their tech support and their comment was that

[QUOTE=dsddcd,May 14 2009, 09:26 AM] Should have read the entire thing, here are a few goodies.

I would recommend a PCV valve suited for higher pressure applications. (See My IP build)

How did you hookup the front breather port on the valve cover?

An oil accumulator like Canton

Wow, sounds like you hated that thing. Here is my take on that...

I used a manual boost controller for years, and it worked perfectly. I have used this AEM trueboost and it works better than perfect. never overshoots, never fluctuates, i dunno maybe you had a bad one. If a manual boost controller can get the job done surely this ebc with its own pressure sensor can make it happen. I dont know why yours was just a bad one. I will say this....its nearly impossible to read the gauge because its digital....but it has a peak boost button...make a pull hit the button and it shows you your peak pressure. I dunno man i love mine.

I did not hate it, AEM delivered exactly what I expected and some. There was nothing wrong with it and I do agree it is much better than a manual controller (Not acutator). I had an LED and buzzer wired into the over boost feature, the scramble is very handy and the A & B setting was nice.

That being said, I would not apply it to any car with that much power, my feeling is that a progressive controller or better yet the ECM should be utilized to yeild the optimal performance. He has spent a large amount of cash and has all the hardware so all that has to be done is set up the KPRO.
