Devils own progressive controller failure.

I'm not bashing Devils Own here. The controller has worked perfectly until this point. I'm just letting everyone know I had a problem with the progressive controller unit.


Well I had been having fueling issues and couldn't figure out how I was leaning out. I'm using the devils own progressive controller. I'm guessing it was malfunctioning recently and on it's way out. This is why my car was leaning out under boost. Anyway now it just flashes an error LED. I double checked all the wiring and completely isolated the controller. It has definitely bombed internally. I wrote them just now, we'll see what happens.

I hope they warranty it! It is about a year old.

The mosfet overloaded and burnt out. They accused me of wiring it incorrectly. But still repaired it free of charge. The wiring was never changed and it worked fine for 6 months or so.

We'll see...
