Ive heard alot of good things about the Greddy, one of my friends wants to give me one, but Im not too interested in it, therefore I cant take it from him, even though its considered a gift. I havent heard good nor bad of the Apex'i, so I cant say its bad, Ive just heard more on the greddy.

Gear Dependent Boost. AVC-R's got it

10psi in 1st, 15psi in 2nd 20psi in 3-5th = Good Traction

To MChat......that is well thought out, to the point comment. I have to agree 100% with you on that. What good is 20psi in 1st if all your doing is spinning? Id love to see how you car hooks up and goes.

Not to mention the wear and tear to the front end and motor mounts you are reducing.

I just watched your vidieo, dude your car is awesome.

Well since were only talking opinions.......and I know nothing of either.....you can take me with a grain of salt. (which you should probably do most of the time anyway).
Right of the bat, I'd have to say anything limiting boost in different gears is un- desirable. It sounds exactly like something the factory would put on a car as a part of a traction control system, that if we all had it, we would all be scrambling to defeat or remove. I understand the technology ok, and if it is adjustable (fully) that would be cool. Having spent some time around bracket racing, I know to what great lengths people go to create consistency and take all the "driving" out of the car/bike/whatever. For brackets, a controllable boost limiter might be the shiznit. Roadracers or solocrossers I suspect would be much less likely to embrace this technology as they would rather have all the motor and quick response on tap all of the time and would rather "drive" with an educated foot.
So I guess my opinion of which one is better, might be based on what do you plan on doing with your car.

I know its a little off subject but when ive given it gas in first my boost almost doesnt go up at all, first is a quick gear anyway so i dont pay much attention, my car is stock, is that strange?

I believe it's normal, first gear is so short that there is no time for full boost

You get like 6-8 lbs right?

That sounds about right, ive been going to the track in Tampa, and getting very little traction in first so i wasnt very concerned with the boost, getting through first gear is the only problem i have and its not because the car is too slow its because its too fast and doesnt grab at all, im bone stock and i spun all the way through second into third 5 out of 8 times i ran so traction was my only enemy.
