Wanna know what kind of boost controllers are out there and what they do? Here's a list of quite a few.
ELECTRONIC BOOST CONTROLLERS
Digital AVC-R Average Price: $450-600

-Digital display:
A total of 12 data (Boost, Tacho, Speed, Power, Temp (Oil/Water), Fuel Press, Oil Press, Data 1 ~3 (A separate harness is necessary) can be monitored and it can display simultaneously on screen a maximum of six data.
A/F can be displayed at the AUX port or at the external voltage port Data 1 - 3.
-Analog display:
-The Boost, Tacho, Speed, Power, Temp (Oil/Water), A/F, Fuel Press and Oil Press are reproduced as an analog meter image at the
LCD. It can monitor a maximum of 4 data, including the digital displays at the screen, and the boost set up is at will. Moreover,
the background can also be chosen from a white, black, carbon, and blue.
-Multi-angle display function: The display of the LCD can be set as left, right and perpendicular (the LCD at the top) operation angles. By selecting any one of these three angles, the switches also change automatically to the related angle.
-Peak display
-Independent Warning setup by source
-Maximum of 10 minutes of record/replay function
-Back light adjustment
-Dimmer function
-Contrast Adjustment
-Language selection.
-Optional A/F display function: If the optional A/F amplifier unit is connected, the A/F ratio can be measured and monitored, which can compare with boost or other sources. Thus, the boost setting can be broadened.
