Anyone running the AEM Tru-Boost Controller?
 
I have one on order from Jose at FI. Looks like a simple enough device. Right now the motor defaults to about 10 psi on the spring alone. Adding the boost controller should allow me to 'scramble' to 14psi with the touch of a button. That should put me at about 700 rwhp(dyno jet). I'm going to dyno it on the spring and at 14psi and see for sure. I *think* the controller will be here prolly next Monday. It would be sweet if it got here before Sat but we all know, that seldom happens. :)
Anyway, looking for other users of this Boost Controller to get their impressions of the device.
Thanks,

Yes, it should effectively allow you to double the spring pressure static boost. Also I believe you should have it there, by Friday ;)

Hey there Jose :)
Thanks! I hope it does.

i have it on my vette and i love it

I have one on the twin turbo vette. It good. I never use scramble though.
I have "a" programmed for me, and "b" for other people, and off if the car ends up in the hands of someone else.....like a mother, father, valet.

Why is it though.....that you only get double the spring pressure. I have never really thought about it , but it doesnt jump out at me either.

I guess its time for some 8-10 psi springs in the gates. The 6's only get it to 12.5 or so....without creep.

I use it too and have had good results. Mine off on the spring is 9lb, a is 12 lbs and b as 15lbs. Have had it as high as 18lbs but the stock engine said enough with that.

Forced inductions has it for right under 300

mightyquickz28 03-06-2009 12:58 PM

Yep. Summit has it for $302 but FI had it more like $289.
Plus, I've had VERY good experiences and business with FI since I first approached them about a recommendation of the proper turbo for my setup 2 years or so ago. The TC76 was/is perfect in price and performance. I will continue to patronize FI because of their good business practices. :)

mightyquickz28 03-06-2009 05:19 PM

Yes. It should work with any two port Wastegate.
