Boost controller recommendations
I am looking for an electronic boost controller (500$ or under) that MUST have these following features:
__________________________________________________ ______________
1. boost presets. 3 or more would be nice because I need preset boost rates for:
- low boost for pump (10psi)
- high boost for pump (14psi)
- max boost on race gas (18psi)
2. a boost limiter that will absolutely NOT let me creep past a certain boost level.
(also has an easily visible or audible warning for this)
3. The ability to adjust the boost rate on the go, with a simple button/ knob.
4. Be able to control boost levels consistently and accurately.
5. shows your current boost and/or vacuum in real time as you are driving. (this way I could sale my boost gauge)
6* although optional, it would be nice if it lit up RED in some way, since my car has a red theme going.
__________________________________________________ _________
What do you suggest I get that has these features? and why?
help me finally make a choice
(or at least narrow down my options by giving me your top 3 choices or something)
thank you!

My power gains are minimal. I'm just running waste gate spring (9psi). Had no need for it anymore, and needed money for saturdays event in Vegas.
This is what i used to run..I posed the HKS one also thats half the size, but lacks 1-2 settings the blitz had.

have you looked into the aem truboost? i have it and i truly love it! it is amazingly cheap, looks great in the car, and for me, since i have all aem gauges, it blends in well. and your boost controller and gauge are all in one on the dash. i have nothing but good to say about the truboost.
oh, and AEM has some of the best tech support that you will ever find and they will back up their products in every way.

hmm... everyone recommending different ones... do all of the ones you guys suggested have the features I listed?
If so, I guess the decision maker would be which one looks cooler to me and/or less expensive.. lol
Ive never owned an electronic boost controller before so im still researching..
process of elimination will be underway ^^^^
