Default Best Electronic Boost Controller

Hiya guys...

I want a new electronic boost controller as my current one (blitz spec s) is not suitable for high boost operations which i think is causing me problems with boost creap and spiking..

What ones do people use and what ones are the best??

The Spec R handles higher boost up to 2.5 bar and the only difference between the Spec s and spec r is the solinoid it comes with. So why don't you just buy a new solinoid for a spec r, would probably be cheaper and easier than fitting a whole new boost controller.

A spec S should handle pressures without any problem whatsoever.

I have used them on cars running 1.3 and 1.4 bar

You shouldn't have any problems below this if set up properly.

If you are having boost creep and spiking problems, the issue is probably elsewhere.

Why not have apexi avcr and solenoid kit linked up to your power fc ?

Works 100% really well

I have used them all many many times, and you simply can not beat the Blitz SBC-id3.

It is extremely efficient, and very user friendly.
