Has anyone had any experience with the Gizzmo MS-IBC V3?

 

I have been recommended one by Garage-D, but having never heard of the company before, I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them.

 

From what I have found online they seem good, but I can't find any evidence of them being used on a Supra so far.

They are well made , solid aluminium case and robust display , the display is quite large for viewing at a glance and bright , fitting is a bit harder due to the rectanglular shape if in dash .

In built fuel/boost cut override is very accurate , but adjustment and setting requires the rear panel unscrewing for access - this oddly needs the unit unplugging to remove it ,but you would only be doing this once .

The control circuitry works very well and has a fast processor , the turbo timer function I've never used , boost control is solid ,adjustments are easy once you get used to the system operation (multiple use buttons and a step through function).

It has more functions than most controllers , dim/bright , variable units , boost display , volts , boost cut ,timer , scramble boost and easy to connect and wire up , the solenoid connector plug is ok , but not great .

Well priced and better built than most and reliable - the main downside is cutting a square hole but it's flange allows a 2mm error and flat surface mounting can be done on Velcro .

As the map sensor signal goes via the unit if it's disconnected the car won't start , you could use this as an immobiliser if you want to walk around with a boost gauge in your pocket -lol
