Electronic boost controller solve?

Hey im having boost spike issues when the second turbo comes online, so Im wondering if an EBC is gonna solve this issue?

Im just thinking that in first/second gear the revvs go so fast that it spikes up to 14psi (at 5,000rpm), and this is due to the excess exhaust gasses going to the second turbo. Im not 100% sure how EBCs limit boost, but Im unsure if this will fix my problem!

The other thought I had was doing the non-sequential mod...

Thanks guys!

ps. yes I searched

If it is truely a boost spike then yes an electronic boost controller should be able to fix it. If however you are creeping and slowly overflowing your waste gate then you either need to port the waste gate or put some restriction in your exhaust.

if spiking is your issue, than a boost controller will solve your problem.

I drove it for about 2000Km and never noticed boost creep at low/high rpm, or low/high speeds.... just boost spike when the second turbo came online.... is that common??
Im only running a DP, efini y pipe, intake mod, and exhaust.

running those mods, you should really have a boost controller. ever hear of the 3 mod rule or the 10psi law?

and spiking usually occurs when the second turbo comes online
