hey guys

i was planning to get one....does anyone have one in their suby?? is it hard to install?? how are the programable options?? i think i should up my stage2 to stage 2 boost ....i'm also planning to install a fuel pressure gauge, new EGT gauge, and boost gauge just to make sure my readings are accurate...thanx

IMO, don't get it. If you want an electronic boost controller, get a Blitz sbc-id or Greddy e-01 ....

 

is the Apex AVCR bad or something?? can you explain why you wouldn't get it? thanx

hugh

 

Actually Hugh, the AVCR and the SBC-id are the two top WRX controllers. It's your preference. I had an AVCR, I think nolimit is basing his opinion on Jayson's car. Both are great controllers, however the Blitz is "supposed" to control boost better. This is due to it having dual selenoids. However, I felt that my old AVCR did just fine on the WRX wastegate. It beat using a Greddy Profec A, and an MBC.

Since you are running an RS-T, I would ask around with other turbo'd guys first before diving in. You can't beat tried and true

If your ever going to go to a LINK... The LINK does have an aux boost module that is much better then the AVCR or Blitz can ever be.

 

well, right now my choice would be the Greddy e-01.
It teh coollest

 

I need a boost controller too.
I need something to reduce my lag. My turbo is Laaaaaaaggggy (3500+RPM)
You can hear the wastegate opening at around 3000rpm (1st gear- a little lower in higher gears) which is perfectly normal, but not desirable.

 

how much does that controller cost?

 

the e-01 goes for about $516 on gruppe-s,
Farid has them in stock though at SpeedGear.

If you want just a temporary bc, ... the turboXS manual boost controlers are about 70-80 and work good. I always had good results with it. Or you could get a Joe-p for even less $.
