Default boost controller

setup
h22 sleeved with cp pistons and eagle rods
polished crank and balanced.

aem ems for tuning
running sc61 with tial 38mm and 50mm bov

looking for a good boost controller

found turbo smart e2 and inovative' s boost controller to be a nice choice.

my question:

what are the bad things with these boost controllers. i know there about 400-600 price range that kinda high.

the options on the inovative has alittle more options, but nothing to drastic.


this car will be a weekend/ daily. i got another car for a daily though.
HP 300-400 daily and 500+ for race day.

why not get a good solenoid and use the aem for your boost control?

hay i was looking into the ams as well. how hard is it to set that thing up. thats the only thing that scared me away. it looks like it could be a pain.

yeah i was thinking if i can't find a reputiable aem tuner in kansas then i might have to switch to crome??

i don't know the whole aspects to aem i might try to tune it myself with the help from the forum and some tuner guys in kansas to get the fuel maps right.
