Different Brands of FCDs

I know most FCDs are all the same, but has anyone had problems with a particular brand? One that mades kinda chinsy, or fools the ECU a little too much?


Just don't want to end up buying 2 of em.

Racing beat stops the voltage at 3.15 or something, where as fuel cut is at 3.55 I believe. I would want something that follows the fuel curve as far as possible (like 3.50)

The homemade FCD's let you trim for the desired clamping voltage for your individual car.

The Racing BEat clamp voltage can be changed. Just pop the top off the box, and adjust the trim pot. To do that you need to put a reliable source of pressure on the boost/pressure sensor, and monitor the output voltage while trimming. Been there, done that.
