Default Boost Controller final choice: TRUboost or EBoost?

Ive been researching boost controllers for a while, and although my knowledge for them is still limited since theres so many options, features, and differences out there, I finally narrowed my choice down between two different ones based on your 411 from other forums I've posted, and the functions im looking for...

AEM TRU boost OR
Turbosmart EBoost 2.

Please vote for which one you like better (or neither) and why, in order to help me make my final decision. Thanks!

I had the e-boost on my first set up and I wasn't that impressed with it. Now I have the Tru-boost and its flawless and works perfect !

The Eboost is a much better product, there are several threads recently that I have listed details as to why it is better.

Good Luck

I aiming a littttttle torwards the tru boost even though it doesn't do as much as the eboost 2. it is cheaper, and does what I need, but is it user friendly? also, I heard its hard to see what psi you're reading, etc. because the numbers move so rapidly. Is this a big flaw to you tru boost owners, or is it not really a big deal?

yea, numbers are kinda wack, but if you log your pull, you can always go back and see what the boost was and adjust your psi . Thats what I had to do

i would go for e-boost 2 because it gives you the ability to work duty cycle vs rpm. I personally have the tru-boost and like it, but its a much more basic boost controller comparatively. The Peak boost setting also doesn't work very well, always showing a higher number than what my AEM logs show.

That makes me a little nervous... has anyone else ever had this problem with the tru boost?
