Default what's the preferred electronic boost controller?

what's the preferred electronic boost controller for f-body turbo cars w/ little or no boost creep?

I would like to control percentage of wastegate duty cycle (meaning how fast or slow boost comes on and how long it stays on.

would like to control amount of boost preasure.

a built in boost guage and duty cycle of injectors would also be nice .

Thanks

The eboost2 has lots of good features and fits right into our vents on the firebirds.
The ams 500 and 1000 have some very nice features but not as friendly for display mounting.
Exile ? looks pretty good as well. If you co with less features eboost has new street controller but mounting is not as sweet as the eboost2 in vent option.

I had so much boost creep, over boost issues with halman mbc, I made the switch to Eboost2 and now its so easy to control boost and I have it so it spools slower in low traction conditions. Boost super fast when traction is there. It's a great tool.

Mighty, are you using ramping with your eboost 2 and if so what type ..rpm,time,gear?
I still think rpm might be good on the street and the time ramping good on the track. Gear might be best everywhere but still no idea how to set up for gear ramping with my auto.

AMS. That's why 90% of the pros run it and why they are difficult to pick up used. The 500 is super simple but under the hood. The 1000 is the gold standard but not as easy to mount (pretty) in a street car. Both love CO2.

ams-500 i run it under the hood and the 2 stage switch on my shifter. i found that running all hard plastic line is the way to go scene im not running co2. i love it and works great
