I have the eboost street and like it a lot. The eboost 2 is cool too if you want more features.

Just whatever you do, stay away from the SCG-1 as a boost controller. It is absolutely terrible, even though the gauge does look nice.

Yep still playing with the one I have. It’s getting better but not rock solid instructions.
More of try this yes or no. Next. Try this yes or no.

I used the AMS-500. Very straight forward. Always gave good results without the science experiment. May not be the best but is was simple.

Anyone else with a GReddy Profec?

Got mine in the mail a couple day ago. Compact unit and so far looks well built.

I think any of the controllers have some learning curve, since every setup is going to respond a little different. I had a hell of a time understanding my Eboost Street until someone explained it to me a little better. Then it came much easier.

Now I can open up the wastegate a little early once you get close to your boost goal and slow the increase rate to reduce boost spike. Or if your dead nuts on you can hit it right on the head.

I say use the controller that you want. Just make sure you either have great customer service or someone using the same controller for advice. Too many setups out there, there is always someone with some experience with it.

I was using the Turbosmart in cab boost controller, super simple to use and works great. I have now swapped to the eBoost Street as well. I like it no compliants. Plus I use it to control my secondary fuel pump
