Keep it clean and simple.......Profec B

The Profec B is one of the easiest electronic boost controller to use and was selected because of its ability to not only control boost easily from the drivers seat, but to improve throttle response and to reduce turbo lag as well.

The Profec B utilizes a twin-solenoid valve control motor. Boost pressure can be preset for both high and low limits. It also gives you the ability to adjust its response speed to the wastegates response time. This feature allows the user to tune the Profec for maximum boost response speed, without overboost.

A properly set up electronic boost control can do this because it can pinch off the air reference signal to the wastegate with a duty cycle solenoid type valve. When the preset set boost level is reached, the boost controller will send all of the pressure signal to the wastegate, blowing it open quickly. Normally when the wastegate boost reference line is merely attached to the manifold, the wastegate opens slowly, well before the set boost point to prevent overboost. Overboost is prevented, but because the wastegate valve is opening slowly before the actual set point, boost builds more slowly. Manual bleed type valves like the infamous aquarium valve can raise the boost level but also make boost response sluggish for the same reasons.
