Hi all, going to fit my gtech 1 at the end of the month and head slowly to a rolling road to get the fuelling checked, heard a few folk speaking about uprated ebv's, i am keen to keep an ebv in for engine safety as oppose to a prv, question is would an uprated ebv work better than a standard one as heard a few folk saying that there ebv struggles when inputting a gtech 1, and would it prevent boost spikes and how dangerous are boost spikes, sorry for all the questions, new to this tuning thing lol, cheers

So why exactly is an ebv safer than a prv?

from what i understand which is not a lot lol, it allows the engine to cut the boost if it detects a problem whereas a prv maintains it, i think lol

I use a perrin, and it seems to control things better with higher boost chips - I run a gtec 2 and found the perrin gave me less overboost, and less boost seesawing that you sometimes get when running higher boost chips. I hear from other people that one of the GM ebvs is good and fairly cheap too... What is the max boost you get with Perrin and Gtec2? I assume the Gtec2 is a standard one and not a special chip from GrahamL.
