its a computer that outputs a display through the gamboy advance, one of our engineers thought to use it while we were searching for nice displays to use.

for 75$ (price of a gameboy) you cant get a nicer looking display.

draggin up an old post.. but has anyone actually used the Turbo XS DTEC for boost control with an FD?

It seems like a good option when compared to the Apexi and Greddy items, but would like a real world review/opinion of it

they should have waited for the PSP. now that's a high quality screen, probably run multiple applications and view more than one digi-gauge at the same time. but this is a ******* cool concept, i think i'm going to have to nab one too.

ive got the boost controller in my car, works awesome!



the psp is too big and would be difficult to mount, besides for 79$ the gameboy is the much better choice.

looks 50000 times better than an fc controller or an avcr ect.


and it came with the velcro tape, i do plan on changing it out to some regular double sided tape to make it look smoother.

You are right that the display looks better than the components you've listed...but I don't even have a boost gauge in view...and I have the stock CD player from 1995.

How do you change boost? How many settings can you have? What other features does it have?

Well I've had mine installed for about a month now.
Boost control is fantastic, and incredibly easy to tune. It's nice being able to set n-psi on the screen, and know that it will hold boost at that point without any spiking (I'm set at 15psi, and it only fluctuates from that by 0.1psi either side of it).

As for mounting it, I have it clipped vertically to one of the center air vents. Easy to add/remove as I desire. However I do think I'll replace my silver gameboy with a black one, just so it doesnt stand out so much

i finally got all my additional inputs set up the other day. Ive got injector duty cycle, afr, rpm, map, tps and solenoid duty cycle. Still have to hook up my knock sensor but ive got the light mounted and set up for 8000rpm shifting.

The boost control is amazing and easy as hell to tune. And the datalogging makes tuning my haltech cake

did i mention it even comes with our cars ecu pinout to easily get to the wires.
