I think you meant boost controller (not gauge), although you really should add a boost gauge and probably an air/fuel gauge to see if you're running lean or rich. The boost controller is a decent mod if you don't have your ECU chipped but be aware that without a chipped ECU and improper air/fuel ratio you could damage your engine. Of course the limiter will eventually kick in and that's another reason to do it right with a chipped ECU. Good luck to both of you and if we can help here at MVS, don't hesitate to post your questions.

Thanks, MIJ ... Yea, I was referring to the booster but I let slip with the letters on the keyboard, ha ha. I get wot you're saying and I do have the intention of getting my car chipped. But having read the tips on chipping I noticed that no mentioned was made of Superchips from the UK. I believe these are the only chips we can source in KL, Malaysia. They claim a 30bhp increase for v70 t5's. I have no idea of any reputation for reliability nor effectiveness. Wot say you?

Cheers
