Electronic boost controller recommendations

Well, it's been some time since I've been able to give the All-Trac some TLC (in fact, I only got It running again just last week).
I currently have a super basic MBC. I would like to upgrade to something a little nicer and more precise. Back in the day, I had my mind made up on the Blitz Dual Solenoid Boost Controller. However, I'm sure things have changed a bit since then.
So, any good recommendations? One that caught my eye recently was AEM's Tru Boost unit. Anyone have experience with this unit?
Thanks in advance!

I personally have the HKS EVC-S and I quite like it. My wife's Subaru has a Greddy Profec B Spec II and its not too shabby. Between the two I really prefer the capabilities of the HKS EVC-S as it has wonderful safety features to keep things in check. Best of luck!

HDI electronic boost controller ftw ;)

150$ shipped, only 1 function though, but you can adjust your boost on the fly in the cabin, works perfect for me :D

I read around and decided to go with the Tru boost. Seemed the best in the price range. Haven't installed it yet though, so all I can tell you is it comes in a neat little package. :D

yes, a friend helped me tune initially, but that was when i knew diddly squat about ebc's on the whole. After reading the install and tuning guide over and over until it made sense, and I got used to messing around with the unit with the car on idle, it was quite easy to tune/adjust.

That's about the price of them in used condition. They used to be more, but of course due to age, prices come down a bit.

Tip...be careful with the wiring...make all your splices into the ecu harness as neat as possible and properly insulate exposed wires. If drilling through the firewall for the harness, make certain and use a grommet. You'll want to use the injector duty function, the rpm, speed, boost....all these can be displayed simultaneously....but decide which is most important since with each new parameter monitored, the display area for each gets smaller.

1 bar should be fine for that turbo. is your intercooler setup fmic or the oem tmic?

use the learn function in the beginning...then start with incremental adjustments to get it to where you want.
