apexi pfc boost control
evening everyone i was just reading through a few old threads about the pfc, i have a quick question.
i have ordered a pfc and was wondering if it had a setting so you can change the boost level using the standard boost solenoid, ie dont have to buy a boost controller to adjust the boost? any advice would be great.

Tony,
iirc you car is a phase 1 93~96?
you can use the boost solenoid as it is a 3port but need a map sensor as the standard one maxes out at 1.23bar and apexi restricted boost to 1bar for safety.
I use the Apexi map sensor which then sorts.
if I remember wrong and it is a 98 or 99 etc then the boost solenoid needs changing on most cars to a 3port but the map sensor is fine.
so in answer to you question no you don't need a boost controller, just a map sensor or a 3port boost solenoid dependingon what year.
