I need a boost controller pretty quick. I would like a greddy profec b but will settle for most electronics and even a manual ball and spring… does anyone have anything laying around? my luck I gave my ball and spring backup to a road racer about 3 months back :doh: please let me know. ---

Sonny, can you use a Apexi AVC-R ? If so there is one for sale here: [http://www.pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44094](http://www.pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44094) Eric was right, I though that part name sounded strange ---

Stay away from the electronic boost controllers. Fluctuating boost levels, and inconsistent controls were enough to drive me crazy. The manual one is still tried and true. ---

I have heard stories of boost creep being greater when the vac lines are extended into the cabin of the car Fact or myth? ---

I’ve heard the same thing actually, but without objective data to back it up. Same goes for mechanical oil pressure gauges…when the hardline line is run into the cabin…it makes the gauge read less pressure than is actually seen inside the motor…makes sense to me. ---

Same goes for mechanical oil pressure gauges…when the hardline line is run into the cabin…it makes the gauge read less pressure than is actually seen inside the motor…makes sense to me. i guess… i mean adding volume will eventually reduce pressure… eh? we run boost gauges into the cabin… no issues there? if i wanted to have the full ability to change the settings on the fly i’m not going to dick around with a in-cabin located manual… i have electronic boost controllers for that!
