Default Electronic boost controller

What's the best bang for your buck with 3 stages of boost settings and user friendly .

I looked on ebay and there's a lot there to pick from I just don't know enough about them to buy one so I'm asking for some help with this I have 2 to 350.00 to spend .

Let me know what you guy's are using and like

Thanks Mike

Can you have 3 stages and if you only want to use one stage for driving around is it possible and then if you need more can you get it on the fly and how hard is it to set up and use.

Thanks for your post

you have to hit the first button and hold for like 1.5/2 sec to switch boost levels.

or you wire in the scramble boost wire and it wil lgoto the "scramble" setting

say you drive on wastegate 10psi

go to the track and hit B wich is 18psi launch and when you hit half track or a microswitch on your shifter it can goto the "scramble" setting of 28psi for high gear

Eboost-Street is very easy to set-up and operate. Very affordable as well, however it only holds 2 settings. If any interest, shoot me a PM for the very best pricing!

I have an aem truboost and it's not bad. Basically you have 3 preset boost levels. 1 spring pressure and 2 at set duty cycle for higher boost. I drive around with it disabled most of the time and bump it up when I want more boost. I'll probably go to a boost and pulse leash combo.
