Default Which Boost Controller?

What are you guys running for an electronic boost controller on the street? Mine is mostly all street driven and I need something to easily adjust the boost. Would like to be able to see the max boost as a recall function too.

I've heard this is the best...not on pricing though. http://www.ams1000.com/. Other than that, your looking at http://www.aemelectronics.com/tru-bo...ller-gauge-757

I'm running the AEM Tru Boost. Simple, easy to use, easy to adjust quickly, has hi boost recall.

Happy with it.

I have the Boost Leash, and love it. It is drag specific and utilizes CO2 though.

for a mild/simple street car.. id go eboost street or ams-500. both are simple, hold rock solid boost, and if all you want is adjustability with some minor other options, theyre great.

Eboost street ftw, cheap.....quality. It has boost recall functions as well as RPM correction if you need it. Not as aesthetically pleasing as the eboost2 but its half the price with a bunch of the same functions.

With any of these can I set the boost level and not have to worry? I'm not needing any launch control.
