Seems like a solid piece. Was wondering if anyone has used it and has any info on it?

Sorry, never heard of it.

Do you like the whole "arm your boost controller"?

Why not just adjust your boost level.

It looks like a decent build quality just a bit cheesy.

Electronic boost controllers can be great or destructive depending on the quality of its system (hardware and software). If the parameters are not set properly you may experience boost spikes and surging. Many of the older elec boost controllers did not have capable software and some used cheap components.

That particular unit looks cool, but function is a very important element for a boost controller. The scary thing to me is the fact it plugs into the cigarette lighter. Any quality product of that type the electrical components would be hard wired into your system and not just plugged in.

get something proven, especially when dealing with boost control. not something you want to toy with, many bad outcomes could come from this
