Prologger or Boonedocker Boost Controler

[mtncat800]

I want to put an electronic boost controller on my M8T. I have been looking at the Boonedocker one just because I like to keep all of my components the same. My dealer is telling me to consider the Prologger as it will read Air Fuel mixture as well. How important is it if the Boonedocker self adjusts anyway? Does anyone have and experience with either of them?

Thanks

In your case the Boondocker would be the better choice. The prologger works good, but I find it is more geared toward a four stroke application. The Boondocker is set up for you particular application and will take less fuss to setup and ride.

Why do the Prologgers work better on 4-strokes? I have always wondered why all the 4-stroke guys use them and none of the 2-stroke guys do. Does it have to do with the electrical system?

Aem makes a elec boost controler also it also has a push to pass

How important is monitoring the Air Fuel Ratio? Some say very, some say not so much.

Boondocker is telling me that purchasing the upgraded Boost Controller is not going to gain me anything on my current set up with the Pump Gas set up. How high can you go on the pump gas? I have heard 10 PSI before you need to consider race fuel. I am currently pulling 7psi.

I appriciate all of the input. It seems like there are many different oppinions out there.

Safe boost levels will change with altitude.

How well does it work with the Cat electrical system? I think I remember a post of yours quite a while back that stated the Cats didn't have enough power to run the AEM Tru Boost.

I am still trying to get the answer to this as well. I have Emailed AEM as well as left them a voicemail twice on thier tech line. I have had no response.....Gotta love customer service.

Well things change, spoons on here has been running them all last season when I tried them I was haveing trouble getting them to work proper now they have a utube vid on how to hook them up witch I could have used.

Spoon, if you have used this boost controller please post your results. Thanks ahead of time.

I believe the AEM is a fixed bleed, the new BD is not and will produce more favorable boost ramp thus improving responsiveness. This could also be why 4 strokers use it. just a thought.

Boost controler

If you have a boondocker then I would not even hesitate to tell you get the EBC From BD it should just plug and play.

The EBC is a great little unit.

I would not hesitate to put it on any turbo kit. I use the Push to Pass all the time. This years EBC is also boost based as well. I have sold allot of them.

Posted this before but for those that would like to read more about it.

You can watch your boost in real time bright lights make it easy to read and also dim and adjust to the light conditions that you are in so there is no annoying gauge glare when night riding. Uses a single button built into the gauge to navigate through the options and to raise and lower the boost in seconds.
2. Auto Boost adjusting: It has the option if you want you can set it up to adjust boost as you go up and down the mountain. So as you go up the mountain it will raise your boost to keep you at the same HP level as you go up in elevation & allowing you to get the most HP out of your fuel without the worry of Detonation. Also as you go down the mountain it will also lower your boost so you don't ever have to worry about detonating your motor if you forget to turn down your boost as this is easy to do if you are having fun the powder.
3. A manual bleeder style controller used in most other snowmobile kits is just a nice word for "calibrated leak". Manual controllers can lead to boost spikes, and can slow the rate which the turbo spools. The reason for this is a manual controller will start to bleed off boost as you get close to your set boost level. In doing so it bleeds off psi from the waste gate before it needs to thus giving you more lag. With an electronic system it waits till the boost is exactly at your set level before opening the waste gate giving you 0 leak down before needed and faster spool up
4. You can set your boost with a push of a button up and down so no more turning the knob and wondering what boost you are now at and playing the guessing game as you try to read the screen and climb a hill. You set it at 7.5 or 8 psi it will be exactly that.
5. You will also have the option to run a "push to pass" button this will be just like nitrous. So as long as you have the octane you can add a set amount of boost you want and it will only add this boost while you are on the button. So for boondocking you can be at say 8psi for a more controlled power band but say you need more HP to climb a shoot or in a drag race you can program it in for say 10 or 12psi while you are on the button. So think of it like nitrous but you never run out.
6. There was problems last year and wile I felt it should have never been sent out till late season they learned the lesson and with the recall done they have been great.

If anyone has questions feel free to ask.
