Looks like E-Boost 1 isn't really on the market anymore, but I see E-Boost 2 is. Pretty pricey, but a lot of people say really good stuff about it.

Anything else out there that you guys have had success with?

AMS500 + CO2.

+ Very accurate and super simple.
- Mounts under the hood and no cool display.

Have also worked with the AMS1000

+ Most accurate boost controller available, mounts in the car, has cool display, does everything and then some.
- You gotta read the manual because it does everything and then some. LOL

Nobody elses support is in the same ballpark either.

AEM TruBoost here. It has the the 'defined' "A" mode, "B" mode and "scramble". You set the boost for "A" say for 12psi, then "B" for say 14psi and have "Scramble" set for perhaps 16Psi. You toggle (pressing the two provided buttons simultaneously) between "A", "B" or Off (running right off the spring then). You hook up a momentary 12v switch/button to enable the "Scramble" (so you can finish the kill on the guy that is just squeaking past you)

It fits neatly into my two pod pillar right above my Wide Band AFR gauge.
