Default What boost control should I go with for under $400???

I just bought the CAS TT Kit for my 2000 TA, WS6 A4, so I will have it installed in 2 weeks. But I will need an electric/automatic boost control for inside the car under $400. Do you guys have any suggestions??? My friend has in his ride this one;

At such low boost pressures, a simple bleed valve would do, if indeed it was necessary at all.
The Apexi is very good, but very difficult to setup.

Go for something simple like the Greddy Profec B Spec 2

I had that one in my 300zx. Did't like it much to tuff to tune in right. When it was all said and done I put the boost jets back in and it felt better then the apexi. I like the old ball and spring ones, makes the boost come in fast.

I would go with the Blitz . It's a little more money, but oh well.

Cheers,

I like a nice simple manual setup. I use a check valve and relief valve in parallel to control boost. Blocks the boost signal until what you have the relief valve set for and then the wastegate opens. So on my car wastegate stays completely shut until 9 psi and then opens. No boost spike, fastest possible spool. It costs a little more than the bleeder at about $50

A bleeder will work but it slows the spool down plus won't give a consistant set point.
