AEM’s TRU-BOOST: Accurate, Simple, Easy.
A Boost-Gauge Style Boost Controller that combines simplicity, style and
function into one professional grade product. This is an electronic boost controller that
offers you the welcome simplicity of a manual boost-controller with the added ease of
controlling your boost levels through an elegant in-cockpit gauge interface from
the drivers seat. There is no external interface required for set up, and
everything is included so its fully functional right out of the box.
No gimmicks or special software programs are required as all logic and
electronics are self contained.
If you want more boost: press the button on the right of the gauge face. If you want less boost: press the button on the left of the gauge face.
That simple, and IT WORKS great!
Includes everything you need; such as an on-board 29 PSIg pressure sensor, and
adds functionality that only an electronic unit has like built in over-boost protection
(with two timed shutdown levels), a scramble boost setting, and a low-side output for a
dash warning light or signal to ECU.
Scramble Boost feature is a particularly perfect feature for the BMW owner: Set
your standard boost level for the daily drive and the twisty roads to aid in
traction, when you need it; have a momentary higher max-boost setting for
spanking the unsuspecting Mustang, Supra, or 911 you next meet at the stop
light, drag strip or on the highway. A great feature!
AEM includes their own proprietary boost control solenoid, one they are proud to
say is the only one specifically manufactured for automotive boost applications, which means it won’t corrode and stick from exposure to rich fuel mixtures
and other environmentals car see. It is pressure tested to 100 psi and includes -4 AN fittings to eliminate any chance of leaks.
Features include:
No external interface required for programmingComplete system includes harness, boost hose, on-board 29 PSIg pressure sensor (external 75 PSIa optional), boost solenoid, gauge display and all necessary fittings
Quick connect technology eases the installation process
Two user selectable boost settings with peak boost memory
Scramble boost setting allows user to momentarily change boost levels

VAC Tech Note
-Regardless of brand or type, a boost controller will only allow you to raise boost above the installed wastegate spring pressure. If you wish to lower boost level, you must run a lighter wastegate actuator spring. If your having boost spike/creep cause by exhaust related issues, no boost controller will fix this.
-Note that improper installation and/or adjustment of this product can result in major engine/vehicle damage.
