Default Boost Controller Poll!!

I am having a tough time deciding which boost contoller to buy. I have heard so many pros and cons for each and am stuck. Could you also let me know why one is better or not. Thanks.

Also, if anyone would like to sell me one that would be great!!!!

Disconnect your wastegate signal and modulate boost by feather the throttle, like a real man!

I went with the HKS EVC II because it uses an intelligent stepping motor. A CPU is imbedded into the stepping motor. This creates more direct and accurate control as the CPU virtually eliminates lag time between the stepping motor and control module. Thereby increasing linear boost control and stability. It's a closed loop stepping motor, you are insured the same most accurate and stable boost levels possible. Boost pressure will rise faster and earlier in each gear and be maintained without fear of overboosting. Also the EVC EZ II is capable of being upgrade to a full EVC unit by simply adding an EVC Display unit.

Yeah, the lag time it takes to traverse 3 feet of wire from the CPU in the boost controller, of equivalent electronic boost controllers, at something just short of the speed of light creates a horrible lag problem.

You can go deeper into how HKS has their PWM routines set up to make it so special, since you haven't really explained anything so far. A code dump of said microcontroller would be most enlightening and porve your point completely
