I clearly neither stated nor implied that it did. I stated that it isn't the best way to control boost pressure, nothing more, nothing less.

I will concur that mbcs do not appear to be created equal. Caveat emptor

The AVC-R can control boost based on RPM, which should be tuned. We've had customers install it themselves and rip it out because it was "too complicated". To be cost effective a lot of customers coincide the AVC-R install with other components, so it can all be tuned at once.
