Electronic boost controller

Post by mark nadin »

This will sound a stupid question but what is the best boost controller to buy and how hard are they to set-up once fitted
P.S do you have to disable T-VSV or just leave it connected ? Told you it was a stupid question :oops:

get the apexi avcr, its not cheap but its easy to use, it learns your gearing and has two boost level setting, looks the xxxx aswel. ofcourse i have one on my rev 1, a bit of a pain to wire up but i can do that for a few benjamins. the standard boost controller has to be blocked off ur right there.

cheers karam

pm me if you think about buying one.

Its personal preference really.

I really like my Greddy Profec B2, hi low settings, peak, warning, its small, easy to install and a damn site easier to setup than an avcr! sits on top of the steering column nicely too.

I'd go for the greddy or a Blitz DSBC.

Blitz DS-BC...........but then I would say that :twisted:

I heard that although the AVC-R looks sweet and has some nice functions, tis a b1tch to set up.

I have the DS-BC and love it!!

I had an AVC-R for a week, couldn't remove it quick enough would set it up,.. supposedly,.. then randomly it wouldn't do its job etc.. spoke to other owners and that appeared normal :shock: so rather than accept i'd bought the worst controller possible I flogged it :D

99.9% of people said the blitz one is better by miles, at the time I couldn't find one for an acceptable price, but they now seem to be floating round for only £20 or so more than the AVC-R

Best place would probably be ebay. Although places like http://www.Envyperformance.co.uk sell them.

If money no object I'd go blitz dsbc spec r. I've recently bought a greddy profec b 2 - looks dead easy to install and easy to use. Also has an important function of being able to enforce a boost limit to prevent overboosting beyond a specified range.

Just say NO to small turbos!
