Boost controller recommendations

I have a High/Low (on/off) switch for my setup, its done via EMS using the AEM Boost control solenoid
I had the switch @ first to switch between the base map, and nitrous map.
Once I went w/the meth, I lost that ability, b/c we used the input to trigger the failsafe, and switch to a lowboost, safe map.
To switch boost, I had to load different maps.

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.

The TruBoost gauge is VERY hard to read, it flashes so quickly you can’t tell what is going on. I had to install a snubber just to read it. Second there is no relationship built between boost and pressure. This means that you have to work off of duty cycle not pressure and this can be a real PITA. Finally it has no feedback which I feel is the #1 most important feature. For most of us the temperature swings require the duty cycle to be adjusted higher in warm weather and lower in cool weather.
I would suggest that you purchase the spring set you need to hit the minimum boost you would like then if you don’t want to spend a huge amount of money then you can just put in a manual boost controller.

The E-Boost2 will do up to 6 stages, Overboost shutdown, Auxilliary outputs to run other devices based on boost level or RPM, RPM based boost compensation, etc etc etc.
There is not much it wont do.

but is it user friendly/ easy to use?
and what about the greddy profec B??

How do you have that, and the option for your meth to cut/boost/timing.

Both Maps run Meth
i'm using the aem true boost. you can use three settings with it (one being off using the waste gate spring), you can also wire in a scramble boost and warning light. I've had no issues with it.
here's a link to evan's tuning with a good comparision of controllers
