Anyone on here using the power FC to control boost?
If so is at any better than an external boost controller? I am using a Blitz DSBC at the moment but was wondering if I could get better boost control through the FC?
Cheers

the powerrfc is not too shabby at controlling the boost, there is only a single target and duty so you cannot alter per rpm if say you have a weak actuator or if you want to tail the boost off etc.. but for 90% of the cars this is not an issue.
As to better than your current boost controller - probably no different.. you can easily swap to it with a 3port boost solenoid and compare the two etc.

OK, I have fitted the 3 port this afternoon and all I can acheive is 0.5bar. I have gone into the ETC menu on the PFC and turned the boost control on, and then back to the settings - boost but all values are zero? I can change them but as soon as I go out of the menu and back in again they reset to zero.
Anyone help?

You only turn the boost control on if you're using the PFC's bespoke 3bar MAP sensor whose wiring has the little white plug that plugs into the side of the PFC.
If you haven't got that PFC MAP sensor rigged up and plugged in then you need to make the PFC read the OEM MAP sensor again, by turning the boost control back off again on the Commander...
