Hey fellas this is my first time and im a new member, here it goes, i just bought a power FC, Commander with an optional boost kit, which consists of a soloniod which is used on a Apexi AVC-r boost control kit. I then send it over to a machanic to have the new set up installed. then my machanic said the boost kit which comes with the power fc was not able to fit with the standard twin turbo set up he said it only fits with a single turbo conversion or switching the twins to boost at the same time. Im confused is it true what the machanic said or doesn't know what his doing?????
And if his lying how can i install it to my factory twin turbo set up, or link me to a diagram.
thanks

This is the link and pic of the boost kit.[URL=http://www.takakaira.com/asp/table.asp?cat=2&id=641]

 

The boost kit will work with ANY turbo setup, he just has to know how to hook it up. Also the boost kit comes with a 3bar MAP sensor which on the PFC you have to choose Option 1 for the PFC to know it's there. My 2cents.

 

You're mechanic is basically right. You don't need the boost kit unless you're running a single turbo or want to boost over about 17 psi, due to the limitations of the stock map sensor. The PFC will use the stock control system without the boost kit.

If you want to sell the boost kit, PM me.

 

ill just have to start studying japanese language an do it the hard way. But my concern is that on the japanese writen blery diagram, it shows the soloniod set up to the factory turbos and with a 3 bar map sensor. its no good leaving it at home! and im soon getting an hks front mount intercooler

 

im pretty sure that rotaryextreme did a writeup on the install of it.
im not on my normal computer so i cant get the link for you for a day or two.
Be sure to gimme a PM and i'll find it for you.

 

if you look at the pictures its all there. it took me a while to figure out that BOTH sensors are used when installing that system. its very worth it. . .

Installing it is very easy.
First disconnect the negative side of the battery. Take off the stock MAP sensor. Put on the new MAP sensor.
Your package should come with a small wire. You hook that wire up to the Power FC main unit. There is a white slot right next to the commander slot. Plug that wire in there and plug the other side to the stock MAP sensor that you just took off.
Take off the black boost reservoir right behind the alternator so you can see the solenoids. There are two solenoids there, which are attached to each other. Disconnect the wiring on the right one (facing the car).
The right one has a white dot on the connector. Hook that wire connector up to your new boost solenoid.
If you want to hook it up to a single turbo, look at apex-i website under document. Find the instructions for the AVC-R. The boost solenoid you got is the same one as the AVC-R so use the AVC-R instruction to hook the hoses to your wastegate. After you install all those, connect your battery. Turn on the Ignition but do not start your car yet. Go to the commander to change the boost settings. The boost menu comes with two boost levels. If you are using the boost control kit, you are only using the primary boost setting. So set your boost setting there. Go to the ETC menu and go to functions. Disable sequetial turbo function. Go to Map sensor menu and choose option 1 instead of normal. That's it. Good luck. Where did you get yours? I confirmed with XS Engineering that it's discontinued.
