If you doubt yourself, maybe you made it up.:biggrin:

Geez I've been away from the site too long, I opened this and expected a discussion about brake pads.
Any reason for the EBC route?
I went the MBC route initially as the Pierberg wasn't allowing proper amounts of boost. This was confirmed as the MBC made a huge amount of difference, albeit in a very simple way and with limited control.
So the reason for buying an EBCs is to allow programming and they actively monitor and adjust boost levels...kinda like a Pierberg I guess.
Plus it's a nice gadget...:biggrin:

Yes, you have control of the boost and how it behaves.
With a MBC you just control the maximum level, but EBCs allow you to be much more creative...the top ones allow you to change in gear characteristics too!
Not 100% sure about the Gizzmo until I read the book, but it's supposed to be good for the money.
You're still limited to the max ECU boost of 1.5b though :D

Sorry for upping old thread.
The plastic circle part at the picture in 1st page should be air filter. Like this one -> link. I have read about using of such filter, when the arrow in boost gauge is oscillating.
I have a Apexi AVC-R boost controller (bought originally for my GTV) and plan to use it in Q4 in the future and probably soon will buy another one for the GTV :dry: .
I see that kepsus have used Apexi boost controller, but not mentioned which one AVC-R or the older Super AVC-R. And don't know if it is active user anymore to share some experience :).
In my opinion is better to use stock boost control instead of manual one.
