What boost controller?

So last year I ran 24psi all season. I wanted to bump it a bit towards the end so I upped the gate spring. Gate would open later but still max boost was 24ish. I seem to remember reading the profec B was only good for 24psi. ??

If I swap what next?

I am running the Synapse gate that has some other ports to try still.

Greddy B Spec II is a good choice.

Getting boost to turn up and hold consistant. In fact I had Ray Wilson here last year and my buddies car had issues with the spec II and Ray mentioned he has had bad luck with those.

I love my current greddy B old school. Solid piece. But 24-25 seems to be the max I can sqeeze out of it. I am going to try and run differant port settings on my synapse gate and see what that yields.

The problem is most likely with the wastegate, a lot of people have had problems getting them to work right with ebc's. how is it hooked up?

I ran a tial before and high boost setting all the way open was 24psi. Had bad boost creep so swaped to synapse 50mm and still max boost 24-25psi. Swaped to larger spring= same result.

What settings were you using on the profec? Also, the Synapse gate is not the same as normal wastegates to control boost, you have to T the 2 top ports for the EBC and the 2nd one from the bottom from the turbo boost source.
