It's a boost controller, not a monitor.

Trust me on this one, it's NOT a monitor. I'm not so sure that it allows boost changes whilst driving either - I think they are preset (by user), and that's what the little potentiometers are for along the bottom of the unit.
Either way, it's not a monitor just a boost control device (which was made by Pectel)

thank´s for info, seem´s for me a little bit overpriced, as the 12 pos. boost pot does the same for less money

The boost pot needs to be mapped in the chip I believe, and they came along after those old type controllers, plus it's all taken care of by the ECU maps, which is the method I'd prefer.

I´m not sure but I think I´ve read you have fitted one.

Yes, I have the later boost pot and it allows maximum boost to be changed whilst driving. I'm not so sure that the one in the link can though (but of course I could be wrong).
