Manual Vs Electric Boost Controller

[Bibbs]

I went from an MBC that would stutter when on full boost (as the ball pops in and out of the valve) to an AVCR (£245 delivered, brand spanking new).

The AVCR does the same job, but is smoother and is easier to tweak ..

right got a few questions my self.

Firstly my car is running 266bhp at 12psi.

Shall i get the avcr for xmas?

can i just poodle along at standard psi and flick it up to XXpsi to take down a few scoobies or do i need to park up and change it?

can i reduce my psi so when i drive to burford from reading all the time i dont cane as much petrol as i do now?

do i need anything else with the unit or can i wack it on and blast up the boost?

what can i expect to take my rev3 up to and what bhp would you expect it to go too?

Yep....dunno about an AVCR but an EBC of some type for sure :)

You can set AT LEAST 2 psi settings on most ebc's....some more, up to 4 or 5 settings , so have say 8 or 9 psi for a long trip, 12 for everyday, & 17 for a hi "wanna race" setting :D

IMO you can take you boost up to the fuel cut of 18.? psi assuming all is resonably healthy & temps aren't overly high.

Which ius also less essentual as the Type III has fuel maps up to the 18.? psi fuel cut :)

Quite valuable to the rev I & II guys though.
