Don't worry about it on a hot summer day either. The best way to combat this, and someone will beat me to this, is adding a FREON line inside the air intake to keep the incoming air at 70 degree or less.

Or you can get a boost controller. 
Once you have your own boost controller on, the car no longer can control it. It is under your mercy.

Or does it seem to learn the controller is there and lets it do the adjusting? When I get mine, i was thinkg the Blitz SBD-iD controller, but I don't want to get one if there are still bugs and get spikes. Just wondering how well yours is working and if you've bumped the boost up much yet? They say the stock can go 19PSI? Is that right, anyone?

you can figure anywhere from 8-10 hp for every pound of boost you run!!
So if I put a boost controler. The car should hold what ever I set it on. Let say 15psi! Now is that 15 Psi all threw the rpm range? I would like to also know ho to go about installing a manual boost controler. Exhaust Depo I tried calling you number while I was down in Miami to see yours was hooked up+ the exhaust you made.

a dual solenoid setup will allow boost to come up alot sooner (less lag) than a manual one.
If I set my boost to 15psi, the car will hold it. But say in 4th gear, when I hit about 5000 rpm, the boost creaps down to about 13 when i redline.
The car will allow only 17 psi max I think beforeyou hit fuel cut and get a check engine light which will give you the overboost code.

aaaa say what?
well lets start with on a EBC (like the Blitz my fave) you get the SAME boost every time no matter if the weather changes or not...
MBC give you what ever boost it feels like that day...
Blitz EBC Auto boost kick back if you over boost.... How much is your motor worth to you?
MBC over boost = broken pistons
EBC can change boost from inside the car, so no need to get out of the car at a stop light, and go under the hood to crack the boost up if a Mustang pulls up next to you.
EBC has a electronic boost gauge in it, no need to buy a boost gauge
Would you like me to go on?
and fluttering and shimming the wastegates??? have you ever even used a EBC? and if so what was it a 10 yr old EVC1 or somthing? jump into the 2100 cen. man... No fluttering, or shimming needed here man...

They said that they optimized it for daily driving and that the car didn't need it. Plus that would have boosted their price over the so called "20k" limit (Which should be 22k).hemidakota said:
Listen FastMatt, I know you're the Moderator, but you need to pay attentionto the issues that have come up with Exhaust Depot and his HKS EVC5 Boost controller. Is his boost constant? NO Is he shimming his wastegate?YES Is he experiencing flutter? YESFastMatt said:
NOT ONE PERSON WHO HAS INSTALLED AN EBC ON THIS CAR HAS HAD PERFECT SUCCESS WITH IT. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT ANYONE SAYS, BUT THE ECU IS MESSING WITH THE EBC!!
Don't be-little me until you get all you're facts straight.
#1 If you remove the stock boost control solenoid, there is no way that the ECU can do anything to boost, it will be 100% out of the ECU's hands... When installing a EBC you MUST always remove the stock boost solenoid, this is on ANY car, or thy WILL fight ec other.
#2 the HKS EVC's stepper motor has that problem on allot of cars, try getting a Blitz
#3 A solenoid type boost controller can block 0%-100% of boost away from the WG actuator so why on earth would you need to shim the WG's?
I'm not be-littling you, your the 1 yelling...
Why do you need to get all offensive when somebody disagrees with you?
PS It does not matter if I am a moderator or not, feel free to disagree with me That’s what makes these boards fun. Just forget that I am a moderator ok
