Manual boost controllers have always worked just fine for me. If you feel better using an electronic then the GReddy Profec B is a great and very very simple controller to use. Hope that helps.

profect b all they way, unless you want something more "cool" looking then the get the other greddy unit with the cool screen that mounts on top of the dash.
As far as manuel, Its only good if your at the track drag racing. If your criusing down the street and someone pulls up next to you, im sure there not going to have the patients to let you pull over and turn your boost up

Sounds good, i was thinking of getting the apexi avcr. I just want something that will hold the boost as consistant as possible. I will not be doing a lot of drag racing but if the money is right i want to know that i will have reliable boost.

The high boost kit inclues the AVCR solenoid and the 3 Bar boost sensor. (Basically it turns your PFC into a AVCR)

Or... use a $15 McCastercarr solenoid to switch between hi(MBC)/lo(No boost control) via a toggle switch mounted in the car.

YUP - High temp air regulator ( $13.00 ) Also High temp air valve ( 2 way your choice )I got my air valve for ( $12.00 ) Not from Mc Master Carr. Listed for $125.00 payed $ 12.00. I now have a $25.00 two stage MBC not including the fittings, hose or switch. Maybe $15 more. $40.00 sounds good to me. You could buy a similar setup from turbo Smart for $220.00 not including fittings, hose or switch.

I used the Profec B forever and switched to the Blitz SBC-ID. I love the blitz. Set it for the boost you want and forget about it. AVCR is also a nice contoller.
