The boost controller sits between your turbocharger and wastegate, where it modifies the pressure signal for more consistent performance.
When the air pressure leaving the turbo exceeds the preload of the spring inside the wastegate, the wastegate opens a valve allowing some exhaust gases to bypass the turbo, reducing boost to safe levels. However, the wastegate can partially open before its rated psi, resulting in inconsistent boost response. A boost controller prevents the wastegate from opening prematurely by regulating the boost signal.

The boost controller sits between your turbocharger and wastegate, where it modifies the pressure signal for more consistent performance.
When the air pressure leaving the turbo exceeds the preload of the spring inside the wastegate, the wastegate opens a valve allowing some exhaust gases to bypass the turbo, reducing boost to safe levels. However, the wastegate can partially open before its rated psi, resulting in inconsistent boost response. A boost controller prevents the wastegate from opening prematurely by regulating the boost signal.
Manual (or mechanical) boost controllers consist of another spring-actuated valve that allows some boost pressure to bleed off or bypass the wastegate. They usually have a knob that allows you adjust the responsiveness. They’re simple, inexpensive, and provide maximum spool-up speed.
Electronic boost controllers are more sophisticated, using solenoids or stepper motors to limit the activation of the wastegate based on a variety of inputs, including manifold pressure, rpm, and throttle position. These controllers help address control and drivability issues, and provide overall better performance.

The G-Force III is the latest iteration of Go Fast Bits' feature-packed electronic boost controller—now with the ability to monitor and display your engine's air/fuel ratio in either Lambda or AFR. By connecting the analog output of most wideband oxygen controllers (i.e. Innovate LC-2, AEM UEGO etc.; sold separately) to the G-Force III's auxiliary input, you can toggle between boost pressure and air/fuel ratio display. This saves you from having to install a separate AFR gauge in your car, and it can also save your engine! A lean mixture at high boost can destroy an engine in seconds, and a stand-alone AFR gauge is next to useless when accelerating hard, as your concentration is likely to be on the road in front of you. The G-Force III safeguards your engine against a lean mixture by lowering boost to the minimum setting, and visibly warning you by flashing the display lighting. Whether your car is a daily driver or an all-out track weapon, the G-Force III has the features to tailor boost to suit your needs. Set up to six boost presets and select on the fly; use the scramble feature for overtaking, launching, towing, or protecting the engine—and you can even customize the lighting color to suit your interior! No other EBC on the market offers the features, control, ease of use, and value for money like the G-Force III! Additional G-Force III electronic boost controller details: * For boost pressures up to 50 psi (3.45 bar, 345 KPA) * Adjust peak boost, rise rate, and closed loop correction. * Display boost pressure in PSI, BAR, or KPA * 6 Boost presets, individually programmable * Unique "scramble" feature with remote switching * Peak boost recall * Air/fuel ratio display in AFR or Lambda (when connected to a wideband oxygen controller) * Separately adjustable overboost and lean mixture warning/boost cut * Touch buttons with user selectable illumination colors * Auxiliary input to switch boost presets or activate scramble * 1/2 DIN size casing, fits standard stereo slot * Supplied with MAC 3-port solenoid
