I was looking into boost controllers and I saw that the Apexi AVC Type-R Boost Controller has features like gear and rpm dependent boost settings. Does anyone have this boost controller and if so how do you like it? Also, how does it know which gear you are in? Does it guess based on speed or is it hooked up to both speed and rpm sensors? Is it easy to set up? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have hear the gear dependant boost is a PITA to setup but nice if you finally get it working.

 

Had the AVCR Boost Controller, and the Gear Dependant Boost Controll is really not that hard to setup. There is an extremly good write up by Blown90Hatch here:

i got it I like it. More of a ricer toy for me to play with when I am driving then anything else. I thought I would use it more then I do but I could have gotten away a lot cheaper just using my aem ems as a boost controller.

 

^ sell the avcr adn use the aem ems.... thats what i'd do if i had AEM.

 

can you have a low/high setting with the aem?
I got a brand new greddy profec b type s and the remote switching system i was going to be using iwth my hondata, but now im going aem. was planning on running something like 8-9 psi low boost and hitting the button when i hit third to switch to like 14 psi...

Edit: sorry for the thread jack....

Yes you can do this with the AVC-R. it has two "profiles" [A] and B and in each you can use a switch to add "duty" to the duty map to add boost when the button is pressed.

 

did you mean you can do that with the AEM?

 

AVC-R, didn't notice you said aem.

 

but can you have two switchable boost settings with the AEM EMS boost setup?
