Default Electronic boost controllers VS air injectors?

Just wondering what people would recommend to replace the standard amal valve setup on my cossie?

What are the pros and cons of each option?


Cheers!

Mine stalls a bit on a t34 running 28psi.

I think thats the term - when you can hear the wastegate going while booting it?

That sounds like compressor surge (which is the turbo stalling), unusual for a T34 to surge, but suppose it depends on the spec' and setup you have.

Air injectors - controlled by the ECU - IF they fail = unlimited boost (never heard of anyones' failing)

Boost Controller - independant of the ECU, so requires very careful setup. If it fails = no boost usually.

Its a turbo dynamics turbo - apparantly they are known for this?

The other thing is i've been told my car may be setup to run air injectors already? I don't know enough about the mapping side to know if the amal valve would work in their place, but i can't imagine why it wouldn't - its only an on/off signal at the end of the day?

Apexi AVCR are awesome but they are only as good as the person setting them up

I've opted for Air Injectors as its what my tuner prefers but obviously you cannot map those yourself

Amal valve and air injectors work the opposite way around - bleed off / bleed on.

To use one or the other, the boost control needs to be inverted in the ECU setup.
