I have one and it work great. I upgraded from forge mbc to greddy profec2, and now using tru boost which I love it. You won't be disappointed with this unit. I got mine for $265 shipped from vendor.

The install is easy. You can basically follow one of the MBC installation guides.

The Turbosmart E-Boost unit is good, but expensive. It has both a eletronic boost controller and boost gauge in 1 unit. I would say it is definitely worth the money though.
