Default Boost controler

Anyone got any recomendations? (sp) I don't have any clue what to look for. I'd just like more control over my two stage set-up.
Thanks

I have the two stage STS and the regulator/controller is under my hood.
I run my boost reference signal from my manifold so I just had to run another long hose to the back of the wastegate. I'll try and get a pic up one of these days.

Nice thread above....
Blitz, GReedy, HKS, APEXi, and many others make some pretty nice units. I was kinda taken by the APEXi unit myself, but in the end budget and personal choice should be the guide.

I own a eboost2 and I found it not to be superfriendly to use right off the bat. You might want to check into it further before purchasing it. I bought a greddy 2 stage with little trouble. just my.02 Doug

Good to know. What were your problems? I like the looks of it, and have a perfect spot for it in my center console. Do you still have it? want to sell it?

The instructions left a little to be disired.... the setting for the boost programs is not a true number but a value that they tell you to determine at WOT in high gear on a dyno. That value is then translated into your boost settings. I did not have the time nor the dyno. The damn thing does just about everything else for you, the overboost control is really neat too. I still use it in conjuction with gready 2 stage controller because the custom made mount in the drivers heater vent. Looks cool and I paid way to much to have it done LOL.
