Default Electronic boost controller recommendations

Hello, i'm looking to add an elec boost controller to my twin kit. Basically i make boost very early so the boost is set low to keep my head gaskets safe do to the early power. I want to add more boost but want to keep it lower at the 5.5 psi in the lower rpm's and ramp it up in the higher rpm's. Which controller would you guys suggest i go with to add more boost later on, etc. And which is a good place to purchase. Thanks!

Turbosmart's E-boost 2 is the best bang for the buck Digital controller for the Street/strip car.

If you want Race quality hardware then the Exile ET01 or AMS1000 are your best choices.

Can the Eboost 2 control boost per RPM? I want to basically keep boost where it is in the lower R's, but ramp in more boost higher in the RPMs. Also, who sells the Eboost2 for the best price? Thanks!

i have always lean towards the SBC from blitz. The large screen unit is cool but the regular, half-din unit is the same without the display.

check out if you wish. I like the eboost, and it would look great in one of your vents, but for my car, i believe im gonna run this unit.

LAterZ!
