Default Which is the best Boost controllers to have?

As mentioned, i have a fuel cut problem with my bleed valve controller setup, so i need to fit a proper boost controller, any ideas or recommendations from anyone?

Preferably if you can post the price too then cool.
I am thinking 300-400 for a decent one, but which is good for controlling boost.

AVCR is about the best and it will set oy back about £270 new. Make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing to fit and tweak it

The AVC-R seems good but as said, needs setting as part of a re-map preferably as boost target/rpm points, solenoid duty etc needs to be set by someone who really knows! The instruction book is, quite frankly, awful! (or is it me being a bit thick? )

greddy profec b spec 2 worked perefectly on my car and never missed a beat, u can get them off ebay for approx 180-200 delivered, as long they are set up by someone who knows what they are at they are a very reliable piece of kit.

Damn i never expected all these replies!!

Ok which is better? AVCR or the other one?

I have seen one which simply plugs into the OBD port, is this any good? If i find a link i will post it here.

According to my gauge, i am full boosting at 26psi, which to me seems high! There is a manual bleed valve fitted but i would sooner go to an automatic with multi scamble for playing with. lol

suppose just depends on budget mate, the greddy did the job for me and i had just a had a hi and lo boost setting which suited me, but 26psi is very high i ran mine with 14.5 psi to keep it safe, depending on what other mods u have id turn the boost down, unless ur running strengthened parts and a bigger turbo.
