Multiple stages of boost at the turn of a knob!
Manual and auto turbo timers for engine cool down
Use to control nitrous kit and/or intercooler spray
Features multiple stages of boost, built in turbo timer, boost gauge, voltmeter and two 12-volt outputs. With High and Low stages of boost and adjustable gain you can tune the boost to switch depending on track or road conditions. Manual and turbo timers let your engine cool down after a run. The Manual feature will allow the engine to run for a specified time after the key has been removed from the ignition. The Auto feature will allow the engine to run for an automatically determined amount of time by using voltage variation after the key has been removed from the ignition. Use the electrical outputs for any 12V DC source and keep track of it all by using Last Boost and Voltmeter settings on the easy to read LCD screen! Warning feature will alert the driver when over boost has occurred by changing the LCD display background color to red and sounding an audible alarm (when sound option is on). Limit over boost by initiating the Limiter sequence. When initiated, the Limiter feature modifies the opening of the solenoid based on the preset Limiter % and preset boost. NOTE: SKU numbers ending in F are factory shipped and may take a little longer to reach you.
 
uff...i don't think being able to control boost on the fly is such a good ide :)
as soon as you loose to that SRT-4 you'll want to go faster by upping then boost and then you'll blow the engine


it looks good tho...
 
It looks pretty nice. and sounds like it has alot of features. Just dont get boost happy with it and you should be fine
 
My personal route would (will) be to get a MBC (Hallman most likely) and a turbo timer. I know my Apexi TT will display voltage if you want, even AFR (narrow band of course, just like a blinky light gauge) and was under $100. But as long as it works as it should, then it is not a bad price for an electronic boost controller. I just don't have $300+ to spend personally.
 
sounds like what I was looking for before I bought my profec II... oh well. My one concern is that it comes from JC Whitney but it's probably made in the same warehouse as everything else in Japan
