Blitz SBC i-Color Boost Controller

So I am considering purchasing this EBC and wanted feedback from people who currently have it installed. I know there are several other good EBCs such as the HKS Gen 6 EVC, Greddy PRofec B-Spec II, Apexi AVC-R, etc, but if im going to spend the $ on an EBC, I figured this had the most to offer, plus the full color screen is pretty badass

I had one of these in my previous car 180SX, excellent functions and easy to read, and it hold boost very accurately. Highly recommended.

hmm yea I saw that but i planned on getting the gauge package from perrin:

i just think it looks damn clean w/the car, then i was going to add the EBC

the one thing that i am not liking about the blitz EBC is that they make you buy extra sensors for things such as the air/fuel, which is a ridiculously like $500 alone, so i may choose another option

Not sure why you would need two boost read-outs in your car (SBC i-color and a boost gauge) but I do like the Perrin Gauge Pod.

I had an SBC i-d in my WRX, great EBC...basically the non-color screen version of the i-color. It was a pain in the butt to wire it to the WRX's ECU to get the full functionality but still it was a great EBC.

Did you install your AEM Boost Controller?
I bought one for my X MR and in the Mitsu dealer they tell me they need to "make a hole" in the turbo to install the "turbo sensor". Is that true?
Thanks.

I installed the AEM Tru-boost on my MR2 Turbo and was very satisfied with its performance.

Id use the SBC-iD Spec R because it does everything the i-Color does, costs 200 less, and reads in PSI. Skip the rice, go with the functionality
