Default Best electronic boost controller
Looking for the best boost controller, don't care about features just looking for the best at controlling boost. I'm looking for one that works well at low boost setting 5-8lbs.

Is there a "best"? My eboost1 has done me well for many years. I have an eboost2 new in the box but I'm too lazy to install it.

The harnesses are the same, all you have to do is literally unplug the one that is in there now and plug the new unit right into the existing setup..

The physical size is different and the eboost 1 is working fine. I'll get around to it the day when I need it for my 4x4.

So you want the best boost controller but it shouldn't have features?

The best at controlling boost. I just want a controller that if you want 5lbs boost it gives you 5lbs not 4 or 6. Or spike to 8.

Thats all in how you set up the controller. In an EBoost, thats GP and SN.... GP helps spool, and SN helps the boost curve.
