PLEX EXP-Boost®

SMART. PRACTICAL. PRO.

For over a decade, our electronic boost controllers have set the benchmark for precision and reliability. Now, with a fully customizable standalone design, integration is more flexible than ever.

The PLEX EXP-Boost is a CAN-based boost control unit that manages up to two solenoid valves and two electronic wastegates, delivering precise, adaptive boost strategies. Mounted near the engine, it minimizes wiring complexity while ensuring high-speed, closed-loop control.

With software-defined fuses for power distribution, multiple boost presets, and full CAN-bus compatibility, the EXP-Boost offers unmatched versatility for custom setups and professional applications.

Engineered for precision. Built for performance.

KEY FEATURES

FLEXIBLE BOOST STRATEGIES

Multiple boost presets with correction maps, enabling complex strategies like boost per gear, speed, throttle position (TPS), time, and more.

ADVANCED ACTUATOR CONTROL

Supports up to two solenoid valves or electric wastegates, enabling precise, responsive, and adaptive boost management.

CONFIGURABLE CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL

Advanced PID and feedforward control for accurate and stable boost regulation under any conditions.

HIGH-POWER OUTPUTS

4x 15A power outputs to control auxiliary devices such as pumps, fans, solenoids, and advanced functions like intercooler fans, water injection, fuel pumps, and electric blow-off valves.

VERSATILE INPUTS

- 4 multipurpose inputs (analog, digital, or frequency) for additional sensor data and expanded functionality.
- 2 Type-K thermocouple inputs for EGT monitoring or other high-temperature measurements.

INTEGRATED SENSORS

Built-in reliable 5-bar MAP sensor and barometric pressure sensor for real-time environmental compensation.

HIGH QUALITY ENCLOSURE

Durable anodized CNC aluminum housing with IP67 weather protection and a flat-back design for easy, secure mounting.

FULLY CONFIGURABLE

Create custom pages & tailor your setup with configurable CAN Bus receive and transmit options, along with customizable inputs, outputs, and alarms.

BUILT TO LAST

Constructed with high-quality components, the EXP-Boost offers frequent firmware and feature updates, backed by robust support to ensure longevity and reliability.

BUILDING ON A LEGACY

For over 12 years, our electronic boost controllers have set new standards in functionality and reliability. The original PLEX PBC PRO was the first OBDII CAN Bus-equipped boost controller, introducing 6D control, EGT protection, AFR monitoring, and more.

In 2015, we added firmware updates, boost histogram logging, advanced diagnostics, and expanded TFSI & Porsche turbo compatibility.

Now, the PLEX EXP-Boost continues this legacy as a standalone, fully custom CAN Bus device, offering advanced boost control, software-defined power distribution, and support for up to two solenoid valves and two electronic wastegates—all in a compact, display-free design.
