Default Good Electronic Boost Controller?

I have heard the turbosmart e -boost is a good unit and the AEM.What is everyone using? Are there any others you guys have used? I want a good unit but Some of these get really pricey. Thanks for any input.

I'm happy with my E-boost 2. It takes a while to learn to use it though

+1 for eboost 2, it's easy to use once you master the 40 page instruction book

We use the e-boost 2 for most of our customers. We have tried the AEM, and it's not that great. Also the HKS EZ is nice and the older Profec B is a nice unit as well.

I have the Eboost2 at very good prices - $525.00 plus shipping.

There are several colors to choose from and optional LED lights for shift, etc.

We have found that the Blitz Dual SBC controller seems to work great for the money. For under $400 its a great buy. It is not as good as the forementioned controllers, but really does get the job done with a pretty small price tag.

I searched for over 30 minuetes before posting my price, and the cheapest I found was $550.00, maybe some of these shops should do a little better job of promoting their products!

I will match any advertised price on any item that I carry, and I am here daily to answer any questions you may have.
