What does the BOV boost pipe come off? It'll probably be fine. You should try to make it as close to the turbo is possible, as the reading will be more accurate. As you are controlling the turbo's boost, the more accurate the reading coming out of the turbo, the better. The longer the hoses, the more likely the spiking...

The stock boost guage sensor Ts into the stock recirc boost hose IIRC.

Can anyone post up pics where the Stock boost gauge sensor Ts into?

I want to T it into any tube that i can get pressure after the T/B :D

Nicely might have missed it but where are you pulling your boost controller feed from? I had mine running from a welded nipple on the hotpipe.

Could it be spiking because of the lenght of hose between the actuator and boost solenoid?
My solenoid is mounted in a different location and the hose between the solenoid and actuator is shorter than yours.

I've read that the most important hose to keep short is this one.

Ahhhhhhhh! I'm not going over all this again. :rolleyes:

My boost hoses are now actually shorter than in the photo. It is physically impossible to get them any shorter without putting in a single hose and taking the solenoid out...

mine current setting is SET 50 and GAIN 10 = peak at 0.78kg/cm2 but not sure what the real boost setting is, i think it had spikes thats why i felt the boost backed off

NO MORE FOOKING SPIKING!!!!

Fitted the HKS EBV 5 over the weekend and tried it out this morning. After a couple of adjustments to get the right level, it held rock solid boost of 1.1 bar on one channel and 1.18 on another :notworthy:

Quite impressed with the EBV 5. By far the easiest to fit compared to the AVC-R and SBC i-D3. The only difficulty is that you struggle to get the 1 metre boost read hose to reach a take-off after the throttle body (as per the instructions). In fact, you can't, without T'ing into an extension.

Its also the first EBC I've had which hasn't required a duty or gain setting. You just dial-up the boost you want IN ADDITION to the stock boost provided by the actuator.

:D Cool. I told you the HKs controllers are the nuts. :thumbs:

Not as much user definable bollocks as a lot of the other stuff out there, but they all even the old models do exactly what they are designed to which is to hold rock steady boost. I wouldnt have any other brand of EBC.

EDIT: Who's doing them at ?255?
