Default which boost controller is better?

from forcedinductions.com

or


from speedinc.com

what are the pros and cons of both, and which one works better with a 408 turbo setup.

also, for speed incs, is that setup also a boost guage too, or just a boost controller.

They're both good. I've always liked Innovative's stuff too.

FWIW, I'm running this though.

I think I'm going to get the Innovative unit. Some people (Mightymouse) where complaining that the Turbosmart is hard to see during the daytime.

I have used both and carry both, the turbosmart though was more user friendly and cheaper. The daytime seeing problem only applies if the sun is hitting it directly. Plus the sun part applies to both units.

why would it really matter...i don't see why you would need to see your boost gauge constantly...if you were goign to change something just block out the light with your hand...
