Boost Controllers...

Post by munster » May 18, 2005

I'm looking at electronic boost controllers. Right now it's between the Greddy profec TypeS and the apexi avc-d. I'd like something that is rpm based, but that's not a necessity. Looking to eventually run 20+ psi so I need something dependable.

What is everyone running as far as boost controllers? Manual is out of the question. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Last time I read a big EBC comparo, the Profec B won hands down, I'm not familiar with the type S though.

Goddd I want to turbo the Miata :evil:

The profec type S is basically the profec B revamped.

huh? Hondata doesnt control the amount of boost. You can program a cutoff, but you cant switch boost levels with it? I am confused at your statement

banzai <---- cant understand common snese....isnt this topic about boost controllers... so wouldnt you think, "what hondata cant do that" would be talking about the concept of changing to variable boost settings..??...??

tommybanzai <---not a genius... :D

and as for your question munster....i dunno which to go with...from my narrow knowledge of it anymore i understand they are both good runners for simplicity, however...go with what has been proven to be easier to use.... profec.... but apexi looks much cooler 8)
