if this is your first boost controller get a simple unit and learn how to use it. boost controllers have pretty much the same functions but its primary function of regulating boost is whats important. there is lots of support on the profec b spec 2 on this forum just so you know.

another ver good boost controller not mentioned up there is the turbosmart elect. boost controller.

I personally have used an AVC-R and a Blitz Dual SBC.

My pick from the 2 of those is the Apexi AVC-R as the features it provides are far superior. The Blitz is alot easier to set up and get working but doesnt do much more then control boost. The AVC-R however monitors many variables provided to it from the ECU, including injector duty, rpm, speed, etc etc. The benefit of it collecting all this information is that it allows you to adjust your boost curve to however you want it.

For instance i had one curve setup for wet weather (boost built slowly and smoothly) and the other was setup of for the dry (fast building of boost and quite sudden).

I cannot comment on any of the others however.

that's an interesting comment there...for AVCR... i've seen the Dual SBC as well... it's very simple plain controller.

based on my research, profec B is far more cheaper than the rest... that does nothing but just regulate boost as well.

keep the experience coming... i wanna hear more about it

My experience with the power fc boost controllers is that they are to put it bluntly... Crap!

I wouldnt use it, better off getting someting that is deicated to controlling the boost.
