I've been using a Apexi AVC-R for a few years with the boost by gear option to limit the power in 1st & 2nd gear and it's been awesome for traction purposes. Before I would toast 1st and 2nd gear (often 3rd if I was trying) but now she launches pretty awesome. Short story: it works nicely in my experiance.

I'm back at work in Antarctica for the season. If you need anything I am selling or a step-down harness please be patient as we do not get access to the internet often.

If you’re curious about the field camp I'm at this year Google "Pine Island Glacier" or check out the weather cams we have set up there (Cam A & Cam B). Yes, I know its nothing but snow and flat white, welcome to my world...

Ask Serban how he likes it in the Mazdaspeed 3. Or any turbo Cobalt owner. Or the Caliber SRT-4 guys. Focus RS too.

lol I'm assuming these cars automatically reduce boost in lower gears? Well, if engineers did it for FWD cars than there's some reason and sense behind it.

Ya, I actually have a profec B spec II. I already made a remote button for it(wired). I just gotta figure out where I want to put it and get used to hitting it going into 3rd.
