ECU TEK and AVCR BOOST CONTROLLER
Hi, I would like to fit an after market boost controller to MY51 bugeye with ecu tek3 remap (heated rear screen selected maps) Can i just disconnect the factory solenoid and fit my avcr boost controller in its place? or will this throw a fault code? I would like more control over my boost in various conditions, cold starts, in gear boost control, ect ect. Thanks in advance

you can fit and wire the AVCR and boost solenoid and map sensor etc for AVCR.. but leave the OE boost solenoid connected electrically but take vac lines off, you need the leave the map sensor plumbed and plugged in.
Really though it needs setting up with detcans, wideband to ensure it is not boosting earlier or higher than the remap.. Assuming the remap was done well, you will gain nothing by fitting the AVCR other than a nice display.

Bug wrx TD04 boost levels can simply be controlled by the very capable DENSO ECU and a 3-port. The AVCR is simply overkill for such a small turbo IMHO.
I'd spend money on something that the bug wrx doesn't do well..........like braking and cornering
All IMHO
