I was shopping around and researching boost controllers, when i came across the AVCR from Apexi, sweet unit, it has gear dependent boost, so you can have 9 psi in 1st, 12psi in 2nd, and full out 3-5. I love this feature, but i was under the impression that this can be done via megasquirt? or something like that.

The reason i ask is im not sure if i should spend $300 on a used AVCR or should i go for $200 greddy spec b and get my gear depended boost done some other way?

And what are people's thoughts on the apexi avcr is it better then the greddy unit? Thanks!

You can do gear dependent boost control w/ the Hondata S300.

Yes you can setup gear dependent boost on the AVC-R. Once you set it up, it is awesome. I turn my boost down in 1st and 2nd gear so I can get some traction, then I ramp it up in gears 3-6.

with a gm boost solenoid and the s300 option

What are most people's thoughts on the AVC-R? It seems like a great unit

i have the s300 with a gm sensor and it works great. A friend of mine has the avc-r but hasnt been able to get it set up correctly the s300 was cake

i have been told the s300 with the gm sensor works great by many people. the only thing they have to say is when it fails it fails open, netting as much boost as possible. most people recomend using an AEM boost pwm. when it fails it fails closed, running off of the wastegate spring.

Wow, didn't know that!! good stuff!!

The AVCR is tight work, really easy to use despite what older posts may say. I have had it for a while now, otherwise, I would probably run the S300/AEM sol.

the gm sensor would fail open, but if you have a boost cut set up near or around your highest boost level then the s300 will keep you from over boosting. And it would work with one like aem as well if thats the way you wanted it.
