Greddy Profec

[Asi]

hi there,

i was wondering what is the greddy profe b spex II boost controller? as i seen one for sale on another forum

thanks

A boost controller lets you adjust the boost the car runs, usually used in turbo applications, basically it has a solenoid that keeps the wastegate closed for longer I think.

Boost controllers can only raise boost though - you cannot limit boost with a boost controller.

I've got one of these, nice bit of kit :)

Here we go, a Wiki that explains it better than I can:

I tried one out on the charger kit, you need to change the bypass for an actuator. I got one from america but it didnt work as well as expected and i wouldnt recommend.

With the standard charger kit its of no use.

I think you can limit boost, cant you just have the solenoid NO instead of NC

[Asi]

thanks aido and stav wont buy it then

[Asi]

is there any other kit thats similar. i want the boost reading coming up on a screen insttead of gauges.

[Rob's Lexx]

why not go for the HKS Camp 2 like rabster in that case??

[Asi]

too expensive. its around £600. i would want to but later on in life.

i know mate, but dont personally know of any other cheaper options out there......

[sparkystav]

You can use the profec B for that, thats how i used it in the end.

You talking about the E01? the one with the grey screen with green display?

[Asi]

yeah the e01

[sparkystav]

good bit of kit, can show a few things at once, nice buy for the right money, can i ask how much?

[Asi]

well the pofec b spec is £140 delivered but not buying that. i will be looking out for the e01

[Asi]

stav which one would you advise me to get. i would be getting the emanage ultimate as well soon so would need help off you as in what to get with it and stuff

[aido]

That £140 is a good price - I paid £170 second hand!

As something totally different, if you just want the numbers why not get one of the AEM TruBoost controllers? They're a similar price but a gauge but with a much fancier display (and also a boost controller should you ever need it)?

I think the Profec E01 can alter settings on the eManage Ultimate so if you're thinking of going down that route then the E01 would be your best bet, although probably overkill - then again any boost controller on a TTE SC really is to be fair.

i like the look of the AEM but i wont alter any settings on the eManage ultimate as i dont want to muck it up.

Not on the ultimate it can't. only the emanage blue.

The E01 is only useable as a display/gauge with the TTE setup mate,

i tried using the actuator but it didnt work so well.

Stav

[Asi]

so either way its useable as a disblay.

[Asi]

any idea is the aem boost controller is a 60 mm

[sparkystav]

I think its a 52mm gauge, but once again youve no need of a boost controller

[Asi]

right thanks stav if i dont need a boost controller then what option i have to get a decent boost gauge a like the way the AEM looks

[sparkystav]

depends. theres loads of nice boost gauges out there but their mainly at 1.5 - 2bar range and the TTE boosts at 0.3 bar so i barely moves much.

Its whatever you like but i'd stick with Greddy, Defi, HKS, something well known and recommended.

Stav

[Asi]

right thanks mate any link?

[Asi]

i thought the supercharger is meant to give 5 bar.

[Rob's Lexx]

i thought the supercharger is meant to give 5 bar.

0.3-0.35 bar mate

about 5PSI
