i had the turbosmart one and iit did not work good at alll it would never hold the boost correctly it would be set for 23psi and it would peak at 27 and fall back down to 25 tried to turn it lower, and when i did this it would fall back down below 23psi. i now have to hallman and love it. hallman ftw.

Depends on what you are looking for. I like the AEM tru boost and I have friends who have used the Turbosmart e-boost w. success, but they are all different priced. Most I know use the AEM while the Turbosmart is more "balla" and mbc is cheap and works well. I use the Hallman, but will br switching to GM 3 port here soon and controlling boost via ECU.

AEM works for me. its a EBC and a guage, which i love, and it's very simple to use. reads up to 30psi and has two programable settings.

Defi racer amber/red manual boost gauge. just installed it last week & i love it. color matches with the stock gauge cluster.

....still waiting to find a good deal on an EBC though. Looking for an Apexi AVC-R.

HKS EVC 5 best bang for the buck. the AEM and the otherone will boost like 20psi in 1st and 20 in 5th because they're load based. the HKS is not.

AVCR. Can do boost per gear as well as boost per RPM. No better controller out there for the money.
