Best to get an external EBC like a Blitz or Profec.

is the Apexi's AVC-R better or the Greddy Profec B is better ?

i'm thinking of an EBC because i'm going to put in my downpipe.
chances of me getting a spike or creep is pretty on the high side...

currently i have midpipe, cat back, intake, all 3 inch... except the downpipe... at the moment, only very minor spike...only 2 cells are reading at P18 around the twin turbo transition.

does anyone knows what are my chances of getting a big spike upon downpipe installation? a 3 inch...

The PFC is NOT discontinued, neither is the boost controller add-on. The boost controller add-on is the same solenoid as the AVC-R.

what i'm interested to know is the functionality of the boost control kit compared with other aftermarket like blitz or profec...

and.. if i put in the downpipe.. will i have a huge spike...
currently i'm escaping with only the built in boost controller in the PFC.

The PFC boost controller uses only solenoid duty cycle to control boost. Thus boost will vary between hot and cold days.

Other EBCs use some feedback to keep boost constant regardless of the weather.
My Blitz is great.

No you will get creep with a full exhaust....you will need a restrictor plate or to port the wastegate on the turbos.

This question would be best answered in the FD forum.
