Default Best budget electronic boost controller

Let me know what your using and works the best, right now I have a manual turbosmart dual stage and want to upgrade to something that I can ramp in my boost for traction. I know the ams 1000 is the best on the market but cant afford it right now so Ive been looking at the ams 500,eboost, exile, and a few others. My only concern with the ams500 is it doesnt seem like it has the ability to ramp in boost at diff. increments.

I have the Turbosmart E-boost 2 which has the ability to do boost by gear and easily up the boost at anytime. And I happen to have a extra BRAND NEW one laying around. Let me know if you are interested.
