Yeah, I have a manual one sitting at home, along with a FCD that got from a friend who's MR2 is being rebuilt/over hauled. I am scared to put it on though. I have 94k Miles on my 91 Turbo, never rebuilt; turbo nor engine. I'm afraid that I might hurt her if I crank the boost up with the stock ct26.

I'm thinking about turning the boost up to about 0.8 BAR or 11.603 psi but I don't know if I should. I'm afraid that the manual controller might fuck up on me. I think I need to get an AVC-R, but I dunno. What were your experiances like with the manual boost controller? What kind of set up do you have and how much boost were you running? Any problems with using it? Etc?

Thanks in advance.

If you set your boost adn you never have a need/desire to change it, there is no real benefit to going to an electronic.

I have the Blitz, but I change boost all the time.
The Blitz allows you 5 different boost settings, peak hold, warning with a limiter (has saved my butt many times!) and I enjoy the freedom of being able to tweak boost from my seat.
