What's the best for a standard cappuccino which has had a sports exhaust on it?.
Thanks,
Christian |

Worth putting on an electronic one if you can spare the cash. About £200 for a Gizzmo boost controller.
The pressure of bleed valves tend to vary a bit and you need to go under the bonnet to adjust them. If you do go for a bleed valve you need to buy a boost guauge (about £50) to monitor the pressure. |

I would always recommend an EBC over a bleed valve. Electronic is so much more precise and shouldn't be affected by spiking anywhere near as much as a bleed valve.
1 bar is considered to be safe on the standard ECU. |

Although I would like an EBC, I've always ran a bleed valve and once set up has been hassle free. Troubles with an EBC is the opportunity to adjust on the fly, something which I want to avoid given that its easy to develop horns when driving.
Also I assume that the EBC holds the boost pretty much perfectly giving faster spooling up to max which is again something I wouldn't like given how easy it is to spin the rears up already. |

On the Gizzmo you can not only set the boost but also how quickly it spools.
