Are those purdy computers worth more than the BOV you paid for?

If so you made out well assuming the company you bought your "BOV" cares.

Could you explain what a rebic II is? It look similar to the Greddy boost controllers.

Rebic III is GReddy's old (they now have Rebic IV) AIC (Additional Injector Controller). Basically it's to control say that additional injector you plumb into the charge pipe near the TB. It's another way of not swapping out your injectors. You coul djust add two more 550cc injectors and let the Rebic control them. Not exactly sure what the Simulator does though. I think it gives you more flexibility and adds more fuel proportionaly to your boost.

When a turbocharger and intercooler deliver more air to the engine, more fuel is needed to extract the potential power-especially in street/strip/race applications. The Rebic III is an auxiliary fuel-injector controller that works independent of the factory electronic control unit. GReddy's "black box" can be used in any forced-induction setup to supply more fuel under high boost. The Rebic III maintains safe air/fuel ratios, while supplying up to eight additional injectors. Its modular designs lets you use the Rebic III with other GReddy control devices. We've found, to our delight, that enthusiasts rave about the Rebic III's graphical, dynamic user-interface and how it adds a "cool" factor to even the best interiors. Who says engineering has to be boring?

The Simulator is designed for the serious enthusiast who wants more control over the secondary fuel map. Features include:

Digital boost gauge with peak-hold
Overboost warning (LED and audio)
Data logging of injection duty cycle and corresponding boost levels
Data port for future Greddy electronics
