Anyone running electronic non ECU controlled Boost.
What you got ?
Ive seen a gizzmo one at 170 quid, are they any good ? I want to type in a max boost pressure and have it across the rev range.

I have been running a manual valve with boost gauge for months with no probs. Re installed my Standard 2 port solenoid today and the car is so slow and mid range is like a sporty nasp car. It does boost to 1.2 eventually at 110mph in 5th gear. I want max boost alot lower down the rev range than that.

It's the ECU that really needs to set boost along with fuelling / ignition / revs / load / gear etc, I have an AVCR but had to have it mapped alongside the ECU.
The bad news is that if the ECU thinks there is a problem then limp mode will not reduce boost.
What car have you got? The DENSO ECU in the newage is pretty good

But sticking in more air at lower revs when the ECU is expecting less will make it run lean.......The bug DENSO ECU is pretty good (I've got a bug turbo) and runs the TD04 turbo pretty well.
If it's not boosting until 5000 RPM on a TD04L turbo then something is wrong
IMHO you don't need an electronic boost controller, you need the car looking at and if all ok then a 3 port and an open source map

I know what you are saying mate, but it actually runs tip top with the manual valve set at 1.2bar. very smooth and powerful and sounds spot on. The car does boost with the denso, but hovers around the .5 to .6 bar for a long time and to get it to 1.2bar you have to floor it .( which makes you rev the car higher than you really need to. On a test run today it took till 110mph in 5th to see 1.2 fluctuating. I would like 1.2 bar at 80mph in 5th flooring it. It like acts on a delay.

........then get it checked out, ditch the restrictive downpipe cat if you can , check the filter is up to the job and then call someone like Duncan at racedynamix to remap the ECU

Believe me the DENSO ECU is a shed load better looking after the car than anything else at your level of mods.

I have a complete 3" de-cat and a friendly MOT station LOL
Seriously though, I ran my bug with decat / induction / 3-port / TD05-18G / methanol injection plus a few more mods on just the stock re-mapped DENSO ECU.
You don't need an electronic boost controller for your car, just needs sorting IMHO.
