What does it do?
How well do they work?
Are they worth the money?
Is it worth me getting one for my A4?

Don't mean to sound like an arse but it's been mentioned on a US Audi forumn which has just got me thinking. £300 is a lot of money if I can't make use of it.

Its a boost controller

They work quite well from what I've heard

Not worth the money in my eyes but pleanty of people seem to think they are

What is the Spec of the A4?

Oranoco

BTT need info people.

Spec of the A4 at present is nothing flash at all but I've got a few plans for the next year or so including a bigger intercooler, different turbo, bigger injectors etc.

I use one, but then I actually use some of its features like gear specific boost control.

Also does some logging and playback which is handy on mine when checking the boost as its difficult to watch the screen and not crash.

Its a good unit, but tricky to setup and use as its does SOO much. Manual is about 60 pages I think.

only work it is you can use all the take offs on the ECU, or provide the correct signals by other means. loved it on my GTiR wouldnt fit one to the cossie...........not sure what take off's you can get to on the audi ECU?

We had one in the Escos, it was really easy to use and looks the part to, as said it gives you different settings like A B & C i think, and you can set your boost to each setting so for example setting A could be standard B could be 20psi and C could be 30 psi..

and you can log your boost in graphs also :0)

cossie daz

my mates got1 on his scooby,good bit of kit.
ive spoke to a tuners b4 about fitting to a cossie and told not to bother

cheeky dog

got one in my 200!

how do you controll boost without one? genuine question here.... if you wanted to get your turbo to peak at a certain pressure how would you do it without one?

ps, mine is set to 1.2bar on setting A but it only peaks at 0.9 and holds 0.8

cheeky dog

been told they're not good at holding the desired boost presure

They are as good as the person that sets them up. No problems here works 100% every one I have fitted. Great for FWD
