Default electronic boost controller

need to get one for my car when its run in, was thinking of an apexi avc-r, i know a few people with them & they always seem to work well (apart from one that loses its memory when its too cold) only problem with the avc-r is its very involved to set up, i was thinking of maybe getting a user friendly one.
just wanted peoples views on different controllers & what kind of prices.

cheers.

We only use AVCRs at work and can usually have one set up on the road in about 15-20mins - they are a bit more involved to set up, but you really get the rewards from having such a well set up controller in the long run

IMO I wouldn't use the apexi one as it need a wheel speed sensor to do use the various functions like different levels in gear and boost curve tuning. I had one on my Saff and hated it, I went and bought another Blitz SBC IC

Blitz is good easy to use does a holds boost pressure to the rev limit

or the Eboost which get good reviews from lots of people that use them and we sell them prices are on my website.

I've not used my one on my car yet so I can't comment on easy of use but the do look very good and I've been told they are.

www.rapidford.co.uk

let me know if you need any info.

Cheers

Daniel

I found when I had the blitz in the saff it had 3 or 4 levels and I always had it on maximum boost or very low for wet weather but rarely changed it TBH
