pezzler Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 has anyone had one of these? just looking for some feedback before buying. it looks as though its one of them "exactly what it says on the tin" bits of kit, just controls boost with no fannying about. anyone had any issues with them? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 This is the boost controller ill be getting, personally i think its a great piece of kit and i know a few others who think the same, who havent had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I haven't got any experience with the AEM Truboost but I highly recommend the Gizzmo MS-IBC. It's very simple to set up and has a very stable solenoid and great features. http://www.gizzmoelectronics.co.uk/Image/MSIBC/G0921MSIBC.jpg http://www.gizzmoelectronics.co.uk/Product_MSIBC.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have one fitted. I like it and it fits perfectly into the clock space. Was very easy to wire up and the intructions are clear. Only thing I don't like is its tricky sometimes to use the menu as you only get 2 buttons and everything has to be done by using these. I mainly bought it as a boost gauge tbh as I like my car to run a 1.0bar which it does on a RR but I'll use it to raise boost again once I get a new IC.

Gaz6002 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have one on my single and think it's a good buy, although the menu can cause a little frustration the first time you use it. I probably didn't read the instructions properly though. I never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movistar Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have the one which is just a gauge, not the controller combined. Very nice and accurate...wont fit straight into the facelift clock space though as i found out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 cheers everyone; just liked the look of this controller, there plenty of places i could mount it in the dash and it looks fairly simple. it would compliment the aem afr gauge which is one its way. i'll be ordering one from mvp later this week, will post up my own feedback if anyone is reading this for future reference.

pistonbroke Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 The LED's around the edge aren't as bright as I'd like. But you can get around it by not putting the glare plate into it when you screw the bezel on. I did a thread about it recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark newman Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i no how to get into the menu . but dont know what the settings should be set to. eg scamble boost, wastegate, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Its a nice design and the gauge part works very well. I dont think it is as advanced as some when it comes to the boost control part though. There is no auto learn or target boost function and you cant plot different levels against RPM or gear etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
