Default Those w/boost controllers: How do you switch from low boost to high boost?

-what boost controller are you using?
-are you using the greddy profec-b switch?
-can the profec-b switch be used with, say, an Apexi AVC-R (using their A and B boost options)?
-do you have any boost spiking/creeping issues?

Thanks in advance

I really liked my Blitz SSBC that I had on one of my Talons. It had a button for low/high boost level, it worked great.

I don't know if they still make that but it wasn't too expensive.

Question: Can the profec-B switch be used with other boost controllers, like the AVCR or Blitz boost controller?

hey itr206, how did you make a greddy like switch. Aren't you practically forced to use the greddy switch due to the way it connects to the boost controller?

You could cut the connector off of the Greddy Switch and use it on the AVCR considering there are only two wires that you need to hook into on the AVCR.

Not a problem. As long as you get a momentary switch, anyone will work.

I was thinking about buying a Greddy Profec B switch and using it to switch between low boost and high boost on the AVC-R.

No links for it. Just simply by going to Radio Shack or any electronics store you can ask them for momentary switch. They only cost around $.30 to $.90 and they usually have 3 or 4 different types. If you really wanted to get stealthy on it you could find the wiring diagram for your horn on your steering wheel and make that your high/low switch if done correctly.

well i just ordered one, but only because you pretty much have to with the profec type S since its a greddy connector. What i originally wanted to do was to use one of the horn buttons to switch back and forth. If you want to use the switch, ill buy the connector off you so i can wire it up with my horn button BTW they are on backorder right now....
