A'PEXi's AVC-D combines fully manual boost setting with vehicle-speed-based boost control, letting you create a power curve to suit your driving. Scramble boost adds a special boost setting for the moment you need it. For example, keep power restrained for traction at a drag start, then switch scramble mode on to pass a rival on the straight. These advanced settings work for drag launches, circuit driving, drifting, and many other conditions. Because boost control is fully manual and does not rely on a pressure sensor, it delivers quick boost response as well as high boost settings. Enjoy a fully manual setup tailored to you—something pressure-sensor-based controllers cannot provide.
