Boost control...looking to improve

[milehighGN]

My car has a john craig TE-61 turbo on it with an integrated wastegate and a little "handle" to control boost. I really would love to go electronic (Greddy profec B, etc, etc)....... My question is , what do i need to do this.........and have any of you gone to electronic boost control as well? ( Cool part with these is that you can make it gear specific=lower boost in 1st so you can get more traction on the street).

Spend $500 on that, or $150 on a BstC from ramchargers that's all you'll really need. Just need to mess with the wires to the ECM a little and it'll control the stock bleeder solenoid. You get a dial to adjust boost, and you can set up some DIP switches in the back to scale boost back in 3rd/4th or do other things like have a hobbs switch cut boost as a failsafe. It's very flexible, simple, and economical. One of the best mods on my car.

I've found some used Greddy Profec B elec boost controllers for about $200.......i think they'd do an even better job. My questions is this now; how do you hook up the lines to the solenoid if all i have is the internal wastegate with an "arm" on it?

Hi,
i have the greedy unit.i use a racegate but in the instructions there is also a layout to use it with a factory style wastegate.if you buy one just make sure the instruction book comes with it.it should work very well.i will never go back to the "primitive" bleeder style controller.

nick,

Anybody use one of these? I checked them out at the SEMA show, l was impressed and seems to do everything. It's also packaged well in a standard gauge.
