Apexi Power Fc Boost Control Kit

[SysLink67]

Anyone had any exp with using this boost control kit as an add on with a D-Jettro Kit?

My current HKS EBC has died. So just wondering would it be better to add a boost controler that matches my Power FC with hand controler rather then buying a seperate EBC etc.

Any advantages / disadvantages etc.....

Any info would be helpful

advantages

cheap

control and logging on hand controller

works well

disadvantages

not as flexible as some of the more expensive boost controllers

So when you say not as flexible what extra functions would I be missing by using the add on kit? besides not having a box stuck under my knee:) or is the fact that I dont have little knobs to adjust the boost as quick with as having to use the hand controller to adjust boost? or a LCD readout etc

some of the other boost controllers offer extra features like boost mapped to gear , boost mapped to rpm , scramble mode ,

the powerfc kit just has 4 boost settings and thats it pretty much no extra fancy crap . you get an lcd readout on the hand controller

its a single solenoid as well(like avc-r), so if u planning for big turbos with external gates better get a dual solenoid EBC.

where do you get these add on kits for the PowerFC from, my car has a PowerFC but only a bleed valve for the boost, would be good to have a proper boost control.

The solenoid is the same one from the Super-AVCR. I have it running with my power fc and it works well...holds boost very steady with my GT3540R and 48mm ext. gate

Also the current turbo config I run is 2 X 2860R's with standard BOV's internal waste gates. Not planning to change turbos for a long time yet.

The reason for the add on kit is its hard wired into my current ECU no wanky LCD extras for punks to steal and and if its cost effective and does the correct job and holds to rock boost then why not.

But just curious how many boost setting do it need?? I mean can I have a setup where I have one for normal metro driving, one for country and one for hero's that im trying spank?

Info?

yeah thats the way it works multiple settings for different boost levels

the single avcr solonoid is pretty good and has been used successfully on many big bo0st cars

the only real problem with it is its tied to your powerfc , so if you change that you have to change to another ebc
