can PFC alone control boost?
just wondering if with i can control boost with just the PFC and no solenoids. i have heard that u can and also heard that u cant. i personally think u cant because i dont have ne solenoids. so i need the pros to gimme the verdit. im just running stock turbos.
if the PFC cant control boost then im fucked cuz i just sold my apexi boost controller kit.

can anyone with a PFC answer this? It seems wierd to me beacuse the ECU has access to the factory solenoid so it must be changeable somehow. What about with a datalogit?

If you're running stock twins NON-SEQUENTIAL, then YES, your PFC can control boost.
If you're running single turbo, then get either the boost control kit(or just the boost control solenoid) or a boost controller(i.e. profec B, HKS EVC, Apexi AVCR) and you can control boost. It's possible that the stock solenoid can control boost when using it on your single turbo. I'm not going to be a guinea pig however.

Basically the PFC can control boost as well as the stock ECU tried to control stock boost. This means that if you are running full exhaust and didn't port your wastegate, you can run into boost creep. Some restrictor plates could help out.
