Let's see which brand, model people most use or want to use.
I know it is quite large selection, But those are boost controllers that available out there right now.
I personally have Blitz i-D III Spec-R Very easy to use and nice display, and very very stable on boost setting.
FYI, Difference between Spec-R/S for Blitz is Spec-R has Dual Solenoid and Spec-S has Single Solenoid.

I use the GIZZMO Intelligent Boost Controller (IBC). It's very easy to install. The instructions are simple and straight forward. You adjust the duty cycle, it records the highest boost you reach, then maintains the optimum boost pressure.

Price seems very inexpensive compare to other products...
I am trying to add GIZZMO and ARK Design.. but don't know how to edit Poll list

greddy profec B here... not the Spec 2 version.
Greddy Profec B-Spec 2 Here.
No complaints.
Setting wastegate gain/boost settings are very easy and straight forward.

Used to have an aem tru boost it worked very well.
I now use a hallman rx pro manual controller because its simple and holds boost perfect no spikes and nothing to setup, i try to simplify what i can.

1 bar with s15 turbo
Same here.... But sometimes when I am on 5th gear full throttle, I notice boost goes little over 1.0bar.. say 1.04bar ?
I guess I need to mess around with manual mode..

the GIZZMO seems pretty cool, however ive always stood by the AVC-R.

I've been looking at running a 1bar wg actuator and not dealing with all the headaches.

Wonder how fast 1.0 bar actuator gives full boost...
since you won't be able to adjust Gain..

I had Greddy Profec B-Spec II before. I brought it to BlackTrax in norcal to have it tune to 20 psi. They could not get it pass 14 psi. They told me Greddy Profec B-Spec II is garbage and i ended up with manual boost controller.
Then later i have the car tune again with Frank at garage Boso. He threw away the manual boost controller and told me to go with HKS EVC.
So i am looking for a HKS EVC.

HAHA Frank does not like MBC... he told me same thing..
I am also looking for EVC 6 right now... Gotta try that thing..
I disagree about Greddy Profec B-spec II is garbage.... whoever told you that...

I plan on putting on an hks evc 6 although they have the lite version which does essentially the same thing but doesn't have the nice display that doubles as a boost gauge like the 6. It's 300 dollars cheaper for those who don't want to blow 600 dollars on a boost controller.
Here is one in action.

Yes I have made vote list for EVC-S as well... highly recommended for those who do not want to spend extra $300 for display and some other features... but after having display on my Blitz, I dont think I could have EVC-S... LOL
1 more month of ramen eating and get EVC-6

I went from a Hallman remote mount to an HKS evc 5 and all I can say is wow. The hallman was only good for an extra 4 psi or so. HKS makes great boost controllers. Its constistant and holds the boost perfectly. I love having 2 settings at the touch of a button.

240-had an EVC4 and it pooped out on me. bought a greddy profec b spec2 since it was the easiest one to get in a hurry (friend of a friend was selling a new one). been running 18+lbs of boost on it since day one and only problem i ran into was from me accidentally hitting the wrong buttons to switch to the 'hi' boost setting.
GC8- had EVC3 and the solenoid failed on me after 4yrs of no problems. currently not running a boost controller of any kind manual or electric. all wastegate. looking into the avc-r or newest EVC
