Does Apexi offer a boost controler kit for the Power FC??? Or is it just the regular boost controler they sell?

The built in boost controler on the PFC works fine but its a bitch to switch while driving.

Is there a way to "wire it" to work by clicking the switch of the fog light switch on the center console or something similar.

Well, it is when youre doing over 100mph and trying to surf through menus to get to it.

I was hoping for a way to cheat and not have to pick up a dedicated boost controler since i am pretty happy with the PFC's abilities.

I'm sure a push of a button is a helluva lot easier not to mention SAFER.

That said, I see a Greddy Profec B in my future...Anyone wanna sponsor that for me???? LOL

the apex pfc boost kit comes with a 3 bar map sensor and the avc-r solenoid, and it plugs into the pfc, its a cool kit but there are 2 different ones, to make a long story short dont get it

Well, if all the kit consists of is a selenoid and a map sensor then as nice as it may be it does not accomplish what I was going for.

hey Mike, thanx for the heads up!

If you get the datalogit, you can hook it up so that you can go from low boost to high boost by installing a simple switch...

I love the Power FC boost kit, but if your going with a seperate boost controller nothing beats the Profec B, It's simple and verry effective.. It kicks ****... :wave:
