just after peoples opinion in the know, whats the best, best value for money and just downright crap i was looking at the greddy prospec 2 but ive done some research and everyone says there a C$%^ to configure someone else told me the eboost 2 series 2 was crap but the new gizmo (blue lights) was awesome im confused Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Do you want multiple boost settings? Is that the main reason you want an EBC? Or do you just wanna hold boost properly?..... If youre happy having one setting, get yourself a Turbotech pnuematic controller....$30-$50....and holds boost perfect as long as your turbo is capable of flowing enough air and your wastegate is suitable.....

just a side question.. i have a Turbosmart progate, with vac connected tothe bottom half it opens around 5PSI. With nothing connected it opens as 10ish.. I need an EBC to put boost too the top till i want it open right? The gate is brandnew and did it from the start. had the problem on the dyno first run and got pulled off.

Gizzmo are just as good if not better than eboost2 and far cheaper. I ran a turbosmart T-piece and never had a prob with spiking

i'm running a turbosmart t-piece atm and it seems to do the job, but im looking at upgrading to eboost2 in the future after looking at a lot of other options on the market.
