PowerFC Boost Control

All,
Can anyone tell me if the the PFC will control boost for a single turbo, and more specifically, if it will interface with the boost control solonoid on a BW 8374 IWG turbo? Even better (if so), how one would wire that up?

Thanks!

Yes it will control boost on a single turbo. It will interface with basically any 12V boost solenoid. If you still have the pre-control connector you can wire it in there, then just turn of the sequential twins and lower the duty cycle on the boost settings. If you cut that connector off, then you need to go to the ECU, pin 4V.

yep, works great. If you have datalogit you can have a high/low boost setting on a switch as well. I do get a couple psi of boost drop at high rpm and this method of boost control doesnt really have settings to address that issue but it doesnt bother me.

Increase the duty cycle.

Ive tried and get the same pattern still. Low duty cycle gave me oscillation and higher just seemed to raise overall boost past my target but keep similar taper up top. Could be my setup maybe too, im running a resonated midpipe and rb dual so its definitely not the most high flow exhaust combo.

RB dual is very restrictive, it is what makes it so quiet/streetable.
