im having an awful time getting plain and simple answers....
what is a user friendly boost controller thats not overpriced and too difficult to use.

I hear eboost2 is the way to go. I personally have an eboost street, seems like a good unit so far. I didn't like my Greddy at all.

Turbo XS dual stage. Stage 1 is your waste gate spring, flip a switch and it activates the second stage which you preset to whatever you want via turn of a ****. Flip the switch whenever you want, stop, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or never and stay on stage one. or wire it into your computer and have it activated at a selected speed and be hands free. I hate electronic ones, simple is better. They have a quad stage one that can wired up for gear specific boost. For the big hp cars of course.

Eboost 2 is the way to go. The eboost street is also a lower priced option. Both are simple to use and set up.

Stay away from the Greddy units.

Eboost2 is a downright awesome unit for the street.

AMS-1000 if its a racecar.

AMS-1000 because if you keep it long enough it will turn into a race car.

I have an eboost2 that I used on my old combo and I'll use it on my twin setup as well. I didn't really get too in depth with it, but I know there are ton of options with it.

I got an AEM TruBoost. It was about $240, some of which I would have used to buy a boost gauge anyway.
