Manual boost controller for regulating boost...takes control away from the ECU.

Its a good little device though. Last time I looked under the hood of John Banks 400+bhp UK scooby a £35 dawes was running the show so to speak.

All well and good until you get a very cold day then you get over boosting, then its bonnet up and fiddling time till you get it right
I ordered one from JG racing but they were out of stock at the time so being impatient i bought an HKS EVC V
does the same job but i now have in car control and no risk of boost spikes

Some folk will take that as gospel and think a £35 dawes will give them 400bhp. Maybe for a fraction of a second before the engine melts and turbo blades wiz out the backbox at Mach 2

LOL - The turbo would probably pack a night bag and gracefully exit through the bonnet scoop

they increase the boost in a crude, semi controlled manner.
