It's worth it for the smoother boost and peace of mind.

Hi mate,
Without trying to sound like a complete muppet......

Thanks

You'll also need to remap your ecu to adjust the boost solenoid duty cycle.

Your PFC can only be run upto 1.2Bar of boost, due to the limit of the factory MAP sensor.
If you combined one of these solenoids with the Apexi MAP sensor and loom, it would work quite well when running more than 1.2Bar. Probably more cost effective to just get an AVCR though
