The PFC controlls everthing, but I still prefer my Blitz DSBC boost controller over the built in one.

Good point, when I set the boost setting, there are 1 & 2 with both primary & secondary sub catagory in them, and I notice you can increase and decrease the boost input, what about the percentage number next to the boost setting on the right? Mines are set @ .90 bar and 70% on primary and .90 bar and 60% on secondary, what is the difference between 70% and 60 %?

Everything except the A/C. A LARGE percentage of PFC users experience A/C related issues after switching to the PFC.

Answer: 10%

These are initial wastegate and precontrol duty cycles. The PFC adjusts them by reading the MAP but doesn't know what values to start with. If they are too high or low there will be a spike or lag in boost at times. When adjusted properly the RX-7 should have a good boost pattern like 10-8-10 psi. They are highly dependent on air flow (intake, exhaust) so they will vary from one RX-7 to another. They will also vary by the amount of restriction in the wastegate and precontrol lines. Some people have the stock pills, modified pills, valves, '99 spec turbo's restrictors, nothing, or some combination. Also, be careful when adjusting as I believe one works in reverse from the other because one of the wastegate or precontrol doors is normally open and the other normally closed.

This is normally used for single turbo setups only. It's basically a boost control kit with a plug and play 3 bar MAP sensor.
