let me know how that forge holds boost. i'd love to come by and see it at work once you have it in since you're pretty close to me. i was going the ebc route, but if that works, i'd just assume save the money.

I would suggest either controlling your boost with your tune/boost pill or with an mbc. EBC's cause a lot of tuning issues and have proven to be very inconsistent on several of our cars. I ran my boost on my VIII with my Forge until I had the ECUTeK tune done and then I used a boost pill and the ECUTeK to control desired boost. Worked like a charm and almost eliminated taper. Unfortunately with the MIVEC we're bound to have a bit more taper (4...even 6 psi is possible). I will let you know once it's all installed though if you want to see it

why would a simple ebc such as a profec s spec be any less effective than an mbc? it still senses boost the same way, the only difference is that it is controlled electrically rather than by pressure? i don't mean to sound defensive, i just would like to know the difference with the evo. my rx-7 had boost bleed problems with an mbc that were eliminated with a profec. i like the fact that an ebc eliminates differences in boost related things like temperature. that's my main reason for getting one. this weather has been a great example since i was seeing over 1.5 bar in the cold higher gears and then on saturday the thing wouldn't go over 1.3.

If you do a search there have been several topics involving tuning problems with EBC's. I don't have any links handy but I know DynoFlash most recently had a customer with an Apex EBC that caused all sorts of nightmares. (I think it was Apex, don't quote me on that though.) Again I don't remember the specifics, but everyone recommends the MBC over the EBC on the Evo.
