Why did you get the auto? Was it the only one you could get?

[aero_civic]

Why is everybody stocking up on all these mods, without considering just upping the boost about another 3 PSI ???? I was just trying to see what the better boost controller to go with was. I had a Greddy Profec B, but it sucked. It would hold boost in all, but the higher the gear I went, the higher the boost jumped. Kept getting damn fuel cuttoffs from it. I was thinking of maybe going with an APEX'i AVCR, the boost controller. Any feed back, please hit me back up. Thanks.......

[Bask Oner]

This isn't the proper thread for that question, but I will definitely recommend the Blitz SBC-iD. Do a search for it and you'll find that it's the best thing out there.

[aero_civic]

Thanks man..... I'll definetly check into seeing the difference between the APEX'i and the Blitz boost controller. <--- Had no idea blitz even made one.
