Default boost controller

I have an 06 turbo s2k running a Hondata Flash Pro. I'm having traction problems on first and second gear because its under full boost at 15lbs all the time. I want to be able to boost around 7lbs first gear, 10lbs second, and full boost on third. I pretty sure the flashpro has boost by gear but i think i have to send it in. another alternative is a boost controller that has an option to boost by gear or speed. Any advice on which boost controller i should get thats easy to use?

You need better tires. I recommend Nt01's. I guarantee they will hold the power.

So far, we don't know what power/torque this total system puts out boosted to 15, nor do I see mention that any part of the drivetrain has been changed out for stronger components. Having the tires 'let go' before some part of the transmission or the rear differential gives out might be a 'feature' I'd choose to have and keep until some other equipment protection is in place, like limiting boost to varying degrees depending on gear and/or other factors.

Regardless of the drivetrain if its 15psi and blowing off the tires he needs better tires. At 18 psi i could light up invo's in third. With nt01's it will hold second gear all day long. Boost by gear is great though. 15 psi on most setups is gonna be 4-500. For that power i wouldnt worry about it. Get some real rubber and let it eat. I prefer boost by throttle. Sometimes is fun to make a little smoke.

i'm putting out 470whp with 364flbs torque. i running Hancook V12 for tires for now. when i step on the throttle second gear the car wants to turn sideways. ordered the nt01 and is coming in soon. those tires will probably last me only six months because the tread wear is only 100. so i still want to do boost by gear or speed. i was thinking of ordering an HKS EVC 6. anyone has an HKS EVC 6? just wondering if it's capable of boost by speed or gear and wow difficult it is to use
