AEM tru boost... worth the money if i need a boost gauge AND manual/electronic boost controller? 225 bucks.. found them used for 70-100.

Any better ones that aren't 400 dollars?

thanks!

I have installed two of these now and HATE them. Setup is a pain, changing settings is a pain and it works in% of the wastegate pressure. So if you have a 9 psi gate you will only get 18 psi with it maxxed out. I like the old greddy profec B but its not being made anymore and pretty hard to find a used one. Just my .02

I kinda wanted one that was a boost gauge to, so the Spec II one looks like a good option.

I'm looking for something to keep my boost dead constant regaurdless if i add 500lbs to the truck or whatever (people, gear, fuel, etc) so its never over boosting etc. I also want to use it for a boost gauge..

I was hoping the AEM one didn't suck because it would be easy to just put it in the pilar mount but i want something that actually works lol.

The stock ECM can handle boost actually fairly well. I see from your signature and other posts your not using stock ecm.

There is a new 2 stage controller by AMS I think it is. AMS-500 if I remember right. Lots of good things about there 1000 model on turbomustangs.com

well i want something i can change between 2 boost settings, i'll have a DD boost level of like 10-15 lbs and a.. F'it setting of like 20-22lbs.

The Greddy Spec II seems nice,.. blitz, AEM.. i can get any of them 200-275 area.. just need to pull the trigger on one.
