had one for about 18 months. only thing negative about it is that the red led display is hard to see in a lot of sunlight. never run an innovative controller but this one has functioned wonderfully.

I'd also like a few people to chime in. I've had my eyes on the Innovative controller, and $600 is an investment in my eyes.

Yeah I have on order the Innovative controller but am having second thoughts on it because of there not being a good place to put it.. The normal place to put it is under the sterio where the t/c button is, but I have t/c so that option is out the door.. I am now debating on the E Boost. Hope that helps a little!

I told TA this, but the innovative works awesome...but, unless you want a race car style dash and dont car about overall look, Id go E-Boost. Rob Raymer and Mighty Mouse had the best knowlege of it so PM one of them, they really can be helpful.
I have a video of robs boost controller at work in his car on a dyno, so its out there in the site somewhere.
Be prepared to learn with either of these controllers...also be aware InTIMAD8 uses Innovative so he knows it inside out.
As for me, I set it and go..I skipped the fancy ****.
