Default EBC/Hybrids Install results

About a week ago I posted about the issues I ran into by running K16 hybrids on AWE software. <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1795330.phtml">Link</a>
I'm happy to say that the AVCR install has resolved all of them. The spoolup and boost creep issues are completly gone. The car feels is waay faster now, especially between 3000-5500. One of the nice things about running AVC-R is that you can set it to run varying boost levels and duty cycles for different parts of your revband. This lets you spool up to about 1.5 bar around 2900rpm and then safely taper back to 1.3 bar towards the redline. Unlike MBC this setup doesn't taper boost up top, and if you want, you can run your selected level all the way to the redline.
Installation is a bit of a research project, but once you know which pins to tap at the ECU it's fairly straight forward.
I will post some logs a little later if anyone is interested.
My only gripe is that the "unit" looks pretty ricey and i haven't found a good place to hide it. Glovebox would work, but it's hard to tinker with settings when the headunit is all the way there.

Excellent. I'm still considering this option. Which ECU wires need tapping?

Default I can't make my mind up : APEX'i AVC-R , or Greddy PROFEC E-01 - why did you choose AVC-R ?

They both offer similar features like varying boost by RPM and throttle angle.

E-01 has a nicer UI and logging to storage card
AVC-R allows tweaking boost to Speed &amp; Gear

You are right though smells like steamed jasmin rice for sure !
