You only consider electronic? I only consider manual, so the answer is "other."

Hallman Pro
Hallman Pro RX
Hallman Pro RX Evolution

Cheap, yet reliable.

I donno, i have a thing for electronic boost controllers. Id rather have electric than manual, that's why i didn't put any manual ones up.

I have the Greddy Profec B II and I love it. No problems here. Works great. Everyone complains on how hard it is to tune. I thinks it's pretty simple once you understand how to use it.

Do not get a MBC, they suck!!!! If you can afford an electronic one, get it...that way you don't have to

Pop the hood
Get out and adjust it
Shut the hood
Get back into the car
Drive to see if you are at the desired boost level.
If you're not...repeat these steps 2 or 3 more times

An electric one is SOOO MUCH NICER!!!!!! I recommend the Greddy Profec-B Spec II

I have the avc-r right now. The only problem with it is it's such a pain in the *** to tune and everything, so i want something easier. I have my mind set on electronic, not manual. It's just a matter of which one. Should I keep the apex or get the hks or greddy? So far im leaning towards hks, but thats just from what ive read.

Go with the Greddy......definitely easier to tune than the AVC-R. Plus you can have the remote switch to go between high and low boost. Plus it's a couple hundred dollars cheaper!

I don't even have it, but I vote the Greddy... the people that have problems usually just don't know how to set them 100% correctly.

Hallman has an in cockpit controller to allievate you from having to do this. Hallman MBC gets my vote, I love mine.

I just installed my Profec B-spec II, and like the built in limiter that will scale back your boost when it exceeds your maximum specified boost. I had the AMS manual controller, and it was effective, but became a real pain when the boost was set close to max and the temperature fell a little. With the Greddy, I do not need to worry about that.
