Doesn't autronic support its own boost control solenoid?? Might be worth having a chat with MA developments perhaps and see what mark suggests

Apexi AVC-R is a complex bit of kit, but seriously good when set up properly.


Cheers,

Gizzmo MS-IBC is awesome. It just controlls the boost really well and has alot of useful features.

Got an Apexi AVC-R on me Focus RS, takes some setting up. Best set up by people that know them like Jap-friendly places, ie APT aka our own Christina & Becky on here.

The Autronic will control the boost better than any controler.

How about a MBC:

simple and easy. Set the maximum boost you want to run and control the boost with your right foot.

Why not add the wires etc needed to your ecu, most are far better controllers of boost than aftermarket fittings.
