AVO Boost Control Actuator

Hey guys... I was looking around on www.rallitek.com and found this Boost control actuator. I searched for Boost Control Actuator info. Just kind of wondering if it is worth the 180 or what. I read the article and it sounds like it is makes more solid boost and for 180 plus labor did a pretty good power increase on the sti! So tell me or

looks to be just a better wastegate? let me know guys thanks

Not worth it.The factory one is adjustable to a point and if you surpass that you can jus use a $2 helper spring.

Their website shows 18% increase in horsepower, there is also a dyno chart.
If anybody is using this AVO Solid Boost Actuator, please reply if you felt any difference or not.

It shows an increase because it is over riding the factory boost mapping,just as an MBC does.It clearly says in the dyno graph that it increased the boost .25 bar(3.5psi) over stock.Gotta look at the details.Any tune will remap these areas.
