AEM Tru Boost or HKS EVC [Picture request]
So i am looking to buy an EBC, i didnt decide yet between the tru boost or the hks evc
which of these 2 hold boost more?

i was thinking of buying a 3 AEM set , Tru Boost - wideband - oil temp
Pros of having tru boost, that i can use it as a gauge and boost controller

picture request: can some one please post pics if they have the 3 AEM gauge setup
Isnt martin from ams using the 3 aem gauges?

Do you think that this setup is good, or shall i stick with my defi boost gauge. then buy a wideband and a boost controller?

your input is appreciated

I really like the truboost and wideband combo. I don't think you'd be disappointed with either of them.

I can't recommend it over the HKS EVC since I've never used one, but the Tru Boost is a real nice ebc/ gauge. As for a third gauge, maybe an egt? That's what I am planning next. Oil temp would be fine if your trying to keep all your gauges AEM.

Depends on the level of boost you're looking for as well. You might ask around and find out what the limits of each is in terms of boost. I know that there are a number of people with EBCs that have found that they will only control boost to about 2x the wastegate spring pressure.

The AEM has an option to go to the 5 bar sensor setup. It's pricey, though. The Defi gauges are nice, but their boost only goes to 2 bar.
