Question Electronic boost controller

I have a manual boost controller and I am looking to upgrade to an electronic boost controller I would like to know what would be the best one to get. I want something that is going to be very good and reliable but I dont want to spend an excessive amount of money. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Eric

Or Apex-i AVC-R, but its a bit complicated to set up, but holds the most boost
IMHO

I have the Blitz SBC ID3 and its very easy to use and small in size. I heard the HKS V is good but it also comes with that extra black box with 2 knobs which you have to find a place to mount it.

But the new HKS VI (evc) looks pretty cool and small...probably cost a grip too

I have had great luck with my GReddy profecB specII. If you decide to go with this same particular one, pm me if you need help dialing in your settings for accurate settings. I have had mine for about 2 years now. Love it

I had the Greddy profecB in my 99gsx and I didnt like it at all....boost was all over the place. Maybe my unit was bad or they work a hell of a lot better in an evo.

Greddy Profec B Spec II here and I love it. Boost ramps up very quickly and holds with no taper at all.

You probably had a bad one. I had a Profec B on my Talon Tsi and worked great. It held boost very steady and I was able to control boost taper fairly well with the gain control. I used it on my Evo and it worked well before I got my Xede. I will be reinstalling it soon.
