What do you guys think about this boost controller????
is it worth the buy. or do u think it would F our cars up?????

hmm, this is interesting...a boost controller for a roots blower.

link fail

fixed http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...s1.php?id=1139

if i had a smaller pully id buy it just to try it

That looks like the controller on a Devil's Own meth kit...

...and it is stupid.

^^Agreed.

Just tune for the right pulley size or have a MPS system. Problem solved.

i'd say let ZZP run it on a track gp for several months and see if it blows up

Neither link works for me.

its working again

Sounds like a waste of money to me on a roots blown car.

I'll keep the current boost controller I have, my right foot...

its also for people who u let borrow the car. extra added security even after a promise.
(i wont speed) :0)

Take off the supercharger belt and hide it if you're that concerned...

haha that works

i think it looks pretty cool actually, but i keep wondering how exactly it works because the BBV is either open or closed and can only limit boost to 4-5 psi when its activated.

X2, i love when people try and get into the w-body scene to help and then when they come up with an idea is garbage and useless until a vendor comes out with it

i never said it couldnt be done and i didnt realize thats what they were doing. im an electrical engineer, i know all about PWM and stupid **** that ill never (maybe) use in real life.

They are going to pwm for many reasons, one for which it saves electricity making the electrical circuit more efficient. Also, you can do alot of cool stuff with pwm.

i completely agree with you. i just dont see myself doing any PWM work for a personal project at home, haha.

i think it would be nice because i would have tossed a 3.0 pulley on my car and just ran as much boost as i could until it knocked. that is the only reason i see this as useful as well as being able to turn it down when youre driving around normally. i can say driving in the snow with a smaller pulley on is a *****.
