Question FD Boost Controller

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting a boost controller for my 93. I still have the stock twins but i read on here that it's safe to adjust it up a little bit from the 10-8-10. I was thinking about going up to 12 or maybe 12.5. I was looking at the GReddy Profec B spec 2 and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to if its a good choice? If not, recommendations? Thanks

IMO, if you have a stock computer I would not run anymore that 10psi. I have the apexi avc-r and like it alot.

10-8-10 unless you have an upgraded ECU. A basic pettit flashed ecu will work but still scary.

I have a greedy profec B spec II. I love it. It's small relatively inexpensive and simple to use.

and yeah I third that unless you want a blown engine do NOT turn up the boost past 10 psi on a stock ECU.

Had the Greddy type-S, solid unit
also had the hallman pro RX manual boost controllers which i wish i had kept.

I dont think you want a boost controller. I think you want an ECU.

ok thanks for the info, i was looking into ecu's as well. I'm new into actually doing my own work to my car, I have a buddie who is a mechanic. But i would rather learn these things on my own too so he's gonna walk me through it. But i didnt know about the ecu thing, i guess ill start looking around, any suggestions? i know pettit makes some good quality parts

if u get the apexi power fc u can raise the boost with that as well....... so u dont NEED to get a boost controller but its recommended to avoid boost spike

The Apexi PFC is a good bet. It's a solid, well known, ECU with room for lots of improvement as you add more and more mods. The PFC also has effective control over the stock boost control solenoids.
