How much boost r you planning to run? if its low just run off the wastegate and save yourself some money. No need to go off and spending 400+ on a EBC for just 7psi.
Well i wanted a 2stage controller. At about 6psi, then 10 psi.
And it doesnt matter, please just answer the question lol.

You wouldnt believe how much im really paying for this setup.
& whats a better choice for me, if i hav a GT25 @ 6psi roughly, with 2" intercooler piping ( i should go 2" right? )
Cooling-Pro Universal Intercooler - Large Type
Tube & Fin - 600 x 300 x 76mm - 3 inch Outlets

Cooling-Pro Universal Intercooler - Large Type Price: $179
Bar & Plate - 600 x 300 x 76mm - 3 inch Outlets

Bar & Plate - 600 x 300 x 76mm - 2.5 inch Outlets
Ive read about bar & plate and tube & fin, and read bar & plate has larger pressure drop, and thought maybe this intercooler is too large for me, and would great too much lag at 6psi ? And do inlet/outlet sizes make a difference? Some have 3" others 2.5".
Im going to assume tube & fin would be a better choice for me?
go 2.5" piping
i got myself a Turbosmart e-Boost2 - They cost around the $800 mark.
Apexi Digital AVC-R Boost Controller cost around the $500 mark.
You could just get a cheap manual boost controller which would be under $50

Have you used your e-boost2 or your setup not finished yet?
If so how is it, would you recommend it. And i dont like those manual boost controller, i want EBC!!!!
As for piping 2.5" and 3" will cost me the exact same, but im already getting them for cheap.
Would you still recommend 2.5" even if same price?
i've seen AVC-R boost controllers go for around $500 new on ebay.
I've heard the Turbosmart is supose to be one of the best, but haven't used mine yet.
GOt it as a pressie
For a small turbo setup, i'd use the 2.5", wouldn't really use 3" unless you goto 15PSI or more
