DFI/FAST/Big Stuffs
Can these stand alone control boost pressure in the same way as the Apexi electronic boost controller do?? I know with the stand alone it can read boost pressure and increase fuel accordingly. I am thinking of getting Apexi for my turbo project but the darn thing cost almost $400 ship. I am going to get the DFI at later on and don't wanna to waste that $400 for the Apexi boost controller. I might just to with a electric boost controller for now. Any thought on this?
ps. Example, for the street trim I will be running 1 bar and 2 bar with race fuel. I can use the Apexi to control from 1 bar to 2 bar of boost and increase fuel. With the DFI/FAST/Big Stuffs, they all can read boost pressure and increase fuel but can not control boost pressure, is this correct??

The AEM ECU also controls boost natively. Very popular on the Honda side of the house, but they have applications for domestics including the Viper and the Mustang. Not sure what's available for the LT1 based applications, but if it's not already there, its supposed to be coming.

FAST and DFI do not have ability to control boost, but the BS3 appears to be able to be set up in this manner. I am just getting started with the BS3 and will be interested in becoming versed on it as I have become on Accel and FAST.
