not exactly true. it all depends on what the model supports. some ebc's only have 2 or 3 presettable boost settings. some older models don't show readings.
profec b can switch between boost levels with their wireless button, or you can easily make ur own with a stereo plug, some wire and a switch. i did with my first gen profec-b and used my momo horn button to switch from hi to low.
and more advanced ebcs like the avc-r have features such as gear-dependent boost. with all the different models and features out there, it's hard to make a definitive statement like that.

Figured I would post some more information as people are not familiar with this controller.

Boost Unit – Can display boost in PSI, bar, KPA, and kg/cm2.
Four Channels – Has four different programmable boost settings.
Boost Gauge and Peak Hold – This boost controller has a built in boost gauge and peak hold that can be display in booth graph and digital form.
Boost Warning and Limiter – This is a safety function allows the user to set the amount of boost decrease in the event of any over boost. Warning in visual display and audible warning.
Scramble Boost – The scramble boost feature allows the user to set an increase or decrease in boost for a desired amount of time.
Manual or Automatic Boost Setting – The SBC i-D allows the user to set boost both in manual and automatic.
Automatic – Sets boost directly, just dial in desired boost setting.
Manual – Sets boost in ration, this setting will give maximum boost response. Recommended for high boost vehicles and large turbo.
Display – Can display up to 6 different reading, each reading can be display in both digital and graphical form. SBC i-D has the option to display 5 different vehicle readings. Power Meter i-D and SBC Optioonal harness are needed to display other readings. With Power Meter i-D connected, the SBC i-D can display SPEED and POWER. With SBC Optional Harness connected, the SBC i-D can display different electronic output from the ECU (ie. TPS, water temperature, oil pressure, A/F, injector pulse).
BOOST: Digital and Graphical
OPT1 / SPEED (Power Meter i-D required to display speed): Digital and Graphic Display
OPT2 / POWER (Power Meter i-D required to display power): Digital and Graphical Display
DATA 1 (SBC Optional harness required): Digital and Graphical Display
DATA 2 (SBC Optional harness required): Digital and Graphical Display
DATA 3 (SBC Optional harness required): Digital and Graphical Display
Record and Replay – SBC i-D has the ability to record and replay any information that was display on the SBC i-D. The SBC i-D can also replay information on the Power Meter and any of the optional data that is display. Replay can be fast forwarded and replayed in 2x and 5x.
Speed Map – The SBC i-D has the ability to control boost by speed (Power Meter i-D required). This function allows the user to fine tune the boost according to the speed of the vehicle. speed Map is set up by the different boost channels, the boost controller will switch channels automatically according to the speed of the vehicle, Speed is transfer from the Power Meter i-D by the infrared connection between the SBC i-D and Power Meter i-D.
Optional Display – The SBC i-D has the ability to display any electronic outputs from the ECU (SBC Optional Harness required Par #15053). It can read TPS, water temperature, oil pressure, injector pulse, A/F, and etc. The SBC Optional Harness will allow the SBC i-D to display up to 3 different readings, DATA 1~3. Any addition readings can be recorded and replayed.

For one sixth the price of the cheapest EBC alternative, you get 99% of the utility.

The "best" one is the one I am working on writing into my stock ECU code.

is the avcr accurate? it actually tells you how much boost you have on the screen, is the meter part accurate, and does it hold a steady boost?

AVCR is great at giving you 10psi one day and 15psi the next.

Innovatives are great for holding boost always within a minimum variance of +- 2psi of where you set it.

Profec B is great at being simple.

Manual is great for boost spike when you floor it and also its non in car adjustability.

World Electronics is great at being expensive.

Blitz ive never used nor profec A.

was this a post about the best or worst? I forget

I've had my Apexi AVCR for almost 3 years and I have no complaints thus far. I like the peak and hold feature the most.
