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.
