Strength:
Good with boost spike Holds boost level very well Very easy to operate Two boost levels cost
Weakness:
hard to tell how much to turn the boost nobs since it is not digital. This is a great product. I am no expert on boost controllers, but from what i see it works really well. I know basics like boost spike and how well the boost controllers hold the boost level u tell it too. So far it has never spiked (this is where you tell the controller to maintain a certain level of boost but then it goes higher for a second, then comes back down to the desired level). The profec b holds the level of boost through each gear. The only drawback is its not digital so its hard to determine how much to turn the nob to increase your boost level.

Strength:
Hi and Lo settings. No more turbo spike.
Weakness:
Not cheap, I got mine used for $300.00 1990 VW Corrado, upgraded to turbo. I ran an XS manual boost controller for 2/3 months. Boost was set at 15psi but would spike upto 18/19 psi. I got the Profec B after blowing piston # 3. Profec R is installed in a dasj "bucket" nice and discreet. NO MORE spike with Profec B. Set the Profec B at any given psi and the turbo holds that exact psi. Also Profec B has hi and lo settings. I set my lo to 10psi...daily driving and hi to 15psi. With a flick of a switch I can alternate between hi and lo. I would recommend the Profec B to anybody who is installing an after market turbo. |
