Boost Control with PowerFC?
I recently purchased a PowerFC w/Commander and am looking for information to control boost levels/creep.
Apexi's product description says there is an optional "Boost Control Kit" available to use with the PFC:
"BOOST CONTROL KIT
The Boost Control Kit is an optional kit designed to control boost through the Power FC. Simple connection to the Power FC allows the user to access a full self-learning boost controller. The Power FC allows up to 4 different boost presets for any stage of driving. The high grade solenoid valve is the same one used in our Super AVC-R boost controller. As with the S-AVCR, the Boost control kit allows increased boost response and boost stability at high RPM's"
Is this something I am going to need if I just have the below mods (currently stock, mods not installed yet), or will the PFC itself do a "responsible" job? I do like the idea of having boost presets for those times when I might want to switch from a low (standard) boost map to a higher boost map. I assume the PFC doesn't provide that functionality, or they wouldn't sell many of the Boost Control Kits...maybe they don't? That is why I am posting/asking!
I'll obviously watch the boost gauge myself too...
Pending mods:
Apexi Intake / M2 Downpipe / Greddy Power Exhaust
