Andy F has advised me to buy and fit a boost controller before I see him in september to make the most of the apexi fc when he fits it.

Im not sure which to go for. Looking on ebay the choices seem to be:

Greedy profec B spec 2 for around 180 quid.

Greedy profec E-01 for around 250 quid

Then its the apexi acvr and the HKS EVC for around 300 quid

Theres even a one going for 140 quid which seems to be 'unbranded' so to speak.

So my question is, will one of the cheaper options be fine, or does it really pay to buy the best? I can buy the best if need be......but I would rather not if the cheaper ones are fine?

 

Surely stick with Apexi? If you definitely need a boost controller as well and want the best, why not have a look at the new HKS EVC. Number 6 I think.

 

My choice would be the profec. Nice, simple unit. But be careful on ebay as there are a lot of dodgy ones coming out of Malaysia. Sellers lie and say they are UK sellers when they are really in Malaysia. Mate bought a Sard regulator from a seller that was supposed to be in UK. Took 3 weeks to get to him, was sent from Malaysia and when it arrived it leaked!

 

hmmmm, might explain why ebays profec b is over 100 quid cheaper than flat4onlines same unit!

Cheers for the heads up

 

Early wrx so yes I definitely need one

 

I had a Blitz Spec S in my classic and it worked just fine. Did what it said on the tin....so to speak.

Blitz UK: Products > Electronics > Boost Controllers > 15058

It is now in a carrier bag in my garage.....no longer required

It's yours for £50 incl P&P

 

Shame it only goes to 1.3 bar. I'm looking for one. but needs to go higher than that and have in gear control

 

APEXI AVC-R with out a doubt

 

Depends on what you want.

If you want boost profiling over the rev range / in gear etc then go for the expensive ones.

But if money is tight then the car can be mapped with a £30 Dawes device, then in the future when funds allow the electronic boost controller can be added. You won't need to remap the PFC (unless you up the boost further, say in the midrange etc)

 

What about the Apexi Pfc boost control kit??

 

i went for the hks evc 6 may be a bit dear but wat a piece of kit this is. it even fitted netly i n till my heater vent

 

AVCR, job done.
