^ You need the HKS actuator if you wanna safely control boost up to 1 BAR.

I have a Greddy Profec B spec II with the remote switch & the HKS Actuator kit.

I'd say its pretty good as far as EBC's go, but it does have its drawbacks.

1.) The instructions on how to properly tune the gain functions suck.

2.) The unit will display either kPA or PSI, but it will only let you chose your desired boost pressure and boost response (gain) on a % basis.

3.) If you interact with the unit, the warning light (for limit) wont go off anymore although it is still working (you have to turn it off & on again to get the warning feature back). . .this is good or bad depending on if you want to hear "beep beep beep" everytime you get near your desired boost pressure.

4.) I would advise against adjusting this unit w/out an extra boost meter because there is no way to fine tune for boost spikes on a digital display.


Pro's of the PBSII

1.) It looks cool

2.) It's reliable (once its set properly, w/or w/out the warning functioning properly it holds true to the settings you have input on both the Lo and Hi modes.

3.) The remote switch is badass. Its great when you need sudden bursts of power and dont wanna take your eyes off the road. It comes in real handy.



OVERALL: I like it, but its a bit frustrating at times.
