As far as the exile boost controller, im sure it works great, but it looks like an electronic out of the late 80's.
You guys should look at greddy, hks, Apexi. They all make great looking units, with graphical interfaces ect. Ive personally had experiance with a greddy profec-b and profec b spec 2. Both are pretty much one of the most rock solid best bang for th ebuck electronic boost controllers in the import world.
If i were to go with a manual boost controller the halman pro with cermaic ball would be my first choice.
The ams-1000 is an amazing unit, but hard to justify 1,000 when a 60 dollar manual will do all i need... for now, at least.
Im really leaning toward the Aem tru boost gauge, and Aem wideband 02. Both look great, and having a gauge and electronic boost gauge for 220-300 bucks seems like a great deal. Aem has always made great electronics in the past.

I had a MSD it worked great as long as you dont touch the brake after you release the trans brake or the clutch. If you forget to take your foot off the brake and release the trans brake you will run out on the spring. Some hook the foot brake wire to the line lock that works great if you dont have to back up with the trans break. bottom line there has to be a order foot brake,trans brake release foot ,release trans brake. even if you do this and the car gets out of hand and just lay your foot on the brake guess what no boost. i have an ams 1000 awsome is all i can say

I've always used Greddy profec Spec 2's in my RX7's and absolutely loved them but now need something with Gear specific Boost.
Anyone had any experience with the EBOOST2 gear specific setup?

Im running the AEM wideband along wiht the AEM boost controller/gauge and i love it its supper easy to use and offers a warning light output as well as a scramble boost switch for when those pesky nitrous cars start coming on hard in the top end.

while i do agree that the exile doesn't look as fancy as most controllers, the fact remains that it works and works well. i originally went w/ the Apexi AVC-R and if you want all the bells and whistles, it has em! however if you want a boost controller that works consistentanly and doesn't take a degree in rocket science to use it, the exile is the one you need. the Apexi could do it all, boost per gear, boost per RPM, toggle switch from low to high boost, etc. you name it, it could do it..... if you could find somebody smart enough to set it up! i had a friend show me how to set up the exile one time and i've been able to adjust it ever since. just my opinion.

I could definatly see this being the case. I went to school for computers, have been programming, doing website design, building comps, networking and other crap, so most electronics just seem easy to me. On the other hand if i was showing my dad, or who is car person how to use it, he would be like what the hell is this.
I did agree that the exile works great though.

eb2 just has a couple button interface, so the navigation is lengthy to get in there and change one thing.
i am completely satisfied customer otherwise
it typically overboosts only about .3psi and stays in that range for the duration of the pass.
it is also a good idea to have other equipment verify that the controller is working right.. not just the controller itself telling you it is working right

the exile , msbc and innovative units are all the same controllers with a different sticker.
We will be releasing a new 2 stage unit called the AMS-500 somewhere around christmas. It uses the same control program as the ams-1000 for precise control.
price of the ams-500 is 400.00
here is a link to the instruction manual
