i like the truboost controller, but i think the eboost2 is better. i like how it does not stand out, and sort of blends in with the interior.

Both the Eboost 2 and AEM are great units. The Eboost2 is just a little pricer. We carry both and have had good luck with both as well. Just depends on what features you need.

How does the tru boost perform? Does it only have one setting and does it stay constant at that setting not allowing boost to spike?
