Default Power FC and Two boost settings

Hi:

I just get a PowerFC for my Legacy RS (the same as the Impreza MY93 to MY96) and I know PFC can store two maps, but, Is possible to have boost settings according to the gear? I'm thinking in a safe boost for 1st and 2nd and quite higher in the others.

Thanks in advance

Power-FC (or at least mine fitted to '97 JDM Impreza) only has and and can only have one map (fuel / ign tables). Has 4 boost settings though. Can't profile boost in any way though - merely has a target.

Sound more like you are on about the AVC-R boost controller??

Thanks Dr_jones, well the reason for this were two:

1.- Try to minimize the risks of have enough torque to break the gearbox
2.- Try to recover some money for my buying by selling my Profec B... . Well with this controller is possible have two settings level, so I think I'll keep it.

By the way two more questions:

1.- Since I bought a used PFC, Is possible revert the map to the original base map? Something like a "Default Setting"

2.- Which is the umbral for considering a unsafe Knock level?

Thanks in advance

You can resert the PFC by choosing the Initiate all data(?) option in the menu.

I believe the low 20s is max 'safe' level - as always shouldn't really be relied on too heavily though.
