To which car and why?

If you have a tune on it, I don't believe in messing with things externally.

I'm hoping management. Boost control and Mk2 standard ECU............I'd like to see that

I was thinking ME something, standard for the engine, not digifant. You have to check what's going on.

Ive been looking at EBCs myself and will probably go with the Gizzmo IBC-R.

In your case(FWD), I would go with the Gizzmo MS-IBC as it has 6 boost settings and a scramble/overboost feature.

Alternatively, GFB's G-Force also has great features but IMO, it looks like its a copy of Gizzmo's MS-IBC as it shares almost the same feature except that they provide you a button/switch for overboost. It's also more expensive.

If you wanna get the gizzmo, look for them on eBay. Their name is "gizzmo direct".

Thanks mate
i checked eBay aus, uk and USA with no luck.

I just checked and it's not listed anymore.

Just wait and it will pop up again..hopefully. Buying directly saves you at least 80bucks.

Again, seller name is gizzmodirect. Hard to miss when searching as they're the cheapest.

You are far better off running an EMS with integrated boost control and MAP input. Better to change your ECU (and recycle the harness with some swapping of the pin-outs if the plug configuration changes) than to support with an additional system.

I got in touch with Ray of Gizzmo Electronics and he added the IBCR boost controller for me on eBay. It's $269.95 shipped and pretty much top of the range stuff.

Must admit they're extremely quick with shipping. I paid them via PayPal this morning at 7am and its shipped out at 1pm!

Let me know if want the MS-IBC or IBC-R and ill tell Ray to list them back on eBay. If you want you can message him directly on eBay.


Cheers

IBC-R arrived today!

closed loop boost control,
64mhz processor
boost control up to 50psi/3.5bar,

Pretty small !





I told them to list 2 boost controllers on eBay ie the MS-IBC and IBC-R if anyone is interested.

Once installed I'll update you guys. F*ck this is gonna be good!
