Boost controller

Hey guys is this any good. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Gizzmo-IBC-Electronic-Boost-Controller-Ltd-Edition-/220740315358?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336525e8de

 

I dont want anything fancy and i dont want to spend a fortune on one either

 

Because all i want if for it to hold boost at about 1.1bar about 16psi i think?

 

it has 4 settings but imo whats the point i only want one and thats full power :lol:

 

so it sounds good to me and easy to fit by the sounds of it. what do you think? i can then get mr Dixon to map my car hopfully

why?

 

Only messing, looks ok! only 2 wires to connect!! but quite a few pipes to connect!! basic but functional!! why not spend a little more and go for a proven one? I understand you have baby on the way and money is not abundant ect, so go for it and if its crap get your money back if you hate it

Good idea, my Apexi was ok to fit, but lots of wires needed splicing into the loom, and the pipe work was a little fiddly, you need to run the pipes from both the turbos/waste gate/actuator to the solinoid and then back to the control unit, but if youve done the plenum bypass it will be a doddle for you!!

there are lots of wires on the apexi due to the info it gives on the screen, but really not needed if your hiding it away!!:cool3:

my mate managed it and iv fitted mine, there all the same anyway, in a TT you need a T peice to connect both actuator vac pipes to one vac pipe that goes back to the solenoid (if im remembering rightly)
