Default Boost Leash Boost Controller

Hey guys, general question.

Do any of you run a boost leash boost controller? If so, how do you like it? Pros Cons? Compared to other EBC? Just getting a general consensus. I was thinking of purchasing one.

Thanks for the input!

I agree. I'm running the pulse/boost leash controller and it works great. Bumps into beams perfectly and boost is very easy to dial in with rock steady boost control. Also I am not using C02 either, my pressure source is from manifold pressure.

Thanks for the responses guys. And this was a key point for me because I am not familiar on how the C02 system works. Most people I see that has them usually use the C02 system. I read where you can use the manifold pressure system with it.

Have you had any issues with the controller? It was a toss up between the Boost Leash and the AMS 500. I was liking the display of Boost Leash but not very fond of the C02 system. The AMS 500 was just very straight forward.

I have not had any issues with the controller and the customer service that he gives you with the unit is awesome as well. I was considering the AMS 500 as well and have never used one. However I really don't think it gets any more simple than the Leash controller, which is exactly what I was looking for. The entire controller is easy to use and understand, the data log feature is also a great addition.

The co2 takes the place of the manifold pressure, more reliable, more consistent, and most importantly more boost while using a smaller spring in the wastegate.
