booked the ibiza in for the tuning session and have asked for the boost controller.
is this product a waste of money or is it a good thing to have?
any reviews please

Very good to have. In rough weather etc and for normal driving its perfect for keeping the car on low boost till you get up to full temp. The other thing is when you take it in for a service (like me tomorrow) it unplugs and the dealer is none the wiser at it returns to standard boost

Like my sps1 then :p

A very good thing to have (if you don't have Revo) in my opinion. There are always times you want less boost. For me: Services and warranty work, it goes back to standard. If anyone else drives my car, it goes back to standard. Yesterday in the snow, it couldn't get any traction, back to standard and it was great!

Apart from the fact that AFAIK you can use the Jabba boost controller whilst you're on the move - definitely worth having I would say.

Yes you can adjust boost while on the move. When it is really hot outside Jabba's advice is to knock it down a bit to preserve your top end power a bit better.

Overall well worth the extra investment. :thumbsup:

I've got it and i find it really useful - you can drop it down a bit on hot days and entirely in snow/ice etc..
