Delicious tuning sells an EBC, they're pretty reputable and they can tune it for you as well

Can an Ecutek re-programmed factory ECU run a boost controller? Or does that job need to be done by a stand alone controller?

DIY

Let me count the ways:

Get this pin and plug kit:
https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/pr...oducts_id/3510

Get this solenoid bracket and barb kit or something like it:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-MAC...UAAOSwcJ1a7M8J

Crimp the pins to the wires on the solenoid and go to lowes to find some machine hardware that fits the bracket (bolt, teflon nut, washers, blue loctite everything together). You may need to drill the bracket out slightly to get the solenoid to sit further away from the AC line (or just bend it up a little, not a big deal).

$50 or so you diy'd your own boost controller.

Not super polished but here's one I made:

If your going to go electronic boost control your better off just going with ecutek tune system as it can use the standard ecu to control the boost control solenoid/valve directly.


you could use an external boost controller but this would end up being more expensive and complex than just going ecutek tune system.

I actually used the EVAP solenoid extension harness already in the car to wire in the EBC. Works great
