The Blitz SBc i-D works fine for what you need and dosent take up as much room as the gauge style systems from Turbosmart and AEM do. No need to call attention to your self with gauges that just get in the way, these cars are cramped enough.

Not sure? I believe Evans has the failsafe setup to pull timing and dump fuel, but not lower the boost, I am going to send him an email and fine out

I've ran a lot of boost controllers over the years. I usually stick to using a boost control solenoid with the ems or an AMS boost controller. So I would highly recommend either the Blitz SBC-iD or AMS 500.

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.

I have a High/Low (on/off) switch for my setup, its done via EMS using the AEM Boost control solenoid
I was originially going to use the profec b spec II (which is currently for sale) but I switched to ems from emanage and decided to go with the solenoid.
Thanks

Teach me about this aem boost control. I got the 1052 coming in this week and getting retuned on wednesday with the aem solenoid. Will the tuner have to setup 2 completely different maps for high/low boost? Is there a switch port on the ems that I can connect a toggle switch to, to switch between boost levels? Is there a boost limiter function/ warning?

I also want to second dsddcd's assertion about boost controller feedback...it would be really nice if the ECU could adjust the boost within a certain +/- (like o2 feedback) to achieve a certain pressure. When the weather changes, so does your max boost with the Hondata based systems.

I had the Profec B Spec II, but I now have the AEM tru boost. The profec B spec II was easier to control and read. The AEM is nice because you can mount it on the pillar. It also goes nice with the AEM UEGO. I feel like the AEM truboost controls boost better than the Profec B Spec II though. Truboost is dirt cheap also.
