electronic boost controller

I am looking at the HKS electronic boost controller V. Any recommends on other brands? Greddy? Blitz?

i personaly have greddy profec b spec 2, and i like it. its small and i like the way it looks, its also real user-friendly. the cheapest ive seen it for is $299.99! thats what i got it for. im trying to stay with all greddy products, except for the hks tt i got which was the first mod i did. i couldnt tell you about blitz or hks, so do some searching and find the one that suits you.

i see the greddy b spec got one unit, and HKS got the control unit but also a display. Do i really wanna pay another $200 for display or instead pay $50 and just get a boost gauge?

I had the Profec-B on my Eclipse, I liked it.

But that HKS looks pretty sweet......

unless you are going to change your boost all the time... just get a hallaman manual boost controller.. they are awsome and they also have an inside kit that you can control in the cockpit..

The Power Enterprises boost controller has sold pretty well for us. It's an analog gauge and a boost controller in one.

I have the Blitz ID, It is a great unit with any control you could ask for and it displays in PSI or any other unit you need. It has several maps for different settings to be changed on the fly with a built in gauge or graph. Also you can hook up the speed meter to talk with it via IR. Also it is half Din so small but very dependable. The bottom line is they are all great units it is just going to depend on what design you want to keep in your car. I had bad luck with a MBC due to crazy spikes that you could only see on the dyno. The guages aren't fast enough to show the entire history so keep that in mind but that is what sold me on the EBC.
