Default HKS EVC 6 electronic boost controller...thoughts???

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge or opinions on the quality and function of any of the HKS EVC boost controllers, especially the latest version the EVC VI. Maybe DrTurbo or Jose have experience with the HKS controllers.

The new EVC VI looks really nice but I don't want to drop $520 (lowest price I have found) if it is a piece of crap. I know a lot of people on here love the Eboost 2 but I don't want a guage style controller.

Thanks for any input.

I guess this would probably be a better question for the import crowd. I'm sure HKS is a much bigger name with them. But I did see that Forcedinductions.com has the HKS EZ 2 on their site as the only other controller they list besides the eboost 2.

So maybe the HKS controllers are pretty good???

Anyone???

A friend had one on his 3000GT VR4 and really liked it but that was over 6 years ago...

We have used all of them. The most solid box style import controller is a Greddy Profec B if your going that route. We have those on the shelf as well.

How easy is it to setup and program? I assume for the price that all these controllers hold the wastegate closed for faster spool until full boost is achieved??
