Would you guys share your opinion of Digital boost controllers? Which is your favorite one?

Thanks,
Pat

The VVGBC!! (Variable Vice-Grip Boost Controller)This is a nearly free mod that can REALLY increase horse power in a pinch. WARNING!!!! This is NOT for long term use and SHOULD be used sparingly. You won't believe the results though. Jr probably had a 40 hp increase at the track. You can clamp the vice grips onto the hose and adjust how tight it clamps the hose shut.(NOT all the way shut) This restrcts the airflow and does basically the same thing as costly controllers ...just not as precisely.

definately Apex'i

I've heard that the hks evc 5 is the top of the line. it has dual solenoids so it can react instantly to super fast spooling turbos.

sepulchral · 02-22-2005, 09:39 AM

hks actuator bitches, set it and...... FORGET IT!!!

sdtouge · 07-10-2005, 12:35 AM

greddys13 · 07-10-2005, 03:16 PM

Greddy Profec E-01

blue109 · 07-26-2005, 07:32 PM

lucky7 · 07-26-2005, 10:44 PM

im gonna use my power Fc.

Megadang · 07-28-2005, 04:19 PM

Apexi's pretty and all but its complicating to use compared to the some of the other ones.

FRpilot · 07-29-2005, 01:34 AM

how much is the powerfc pbc? i read that its an option but no one ever has any information on it. is it as good as the other boost controllers?

RSP13-Sideways · 07-31-2005, 12:28 AM

Had a GReddy ProfecB, the fuzzy logic was weak.......

I now have a Apexi AVC-R and it's great. Ohhh and it looks beautiful sitting next to my Apexi S-AFC hahaha...

RYAN_S-14 · 08-01-2005, 04:46 AM

I Have the power fc boost controller, i like it beacuse it does not add another controller to put somewhere.

if you have any questions you can pm me or ask them here.

codyace · 08-01-2005, 10:44 AM

I'm voting for other

Profec B Spec I...oldschool and the easiest as well as best of the bunch....

Like above...it's simple...Take car out on highway....hammer it in 3rd gear, turn knob and watch boost gauge. Push button in and it's set. Switch to Hi Boost. Repeat the process.

Happy and easy...

rps13sr20det · 11-23-2005, 11:02 PM

Nizzan4u2nv · 12-13-2005, 12:38 PM
