Electronic Boost Controller

So I need to get a electronic boost controller....

I need one that I can set different boost for different gears, something like the eboost2 with a build in gauge would be kind of nice.

I've looked at a bunch but want to hear from people who've had experience with them

i think it was either an apex-i or a greddy..i dont fully remember which one...but i know his controller went bad and cause the car to spike to 40 psi and cracked his piston/linings/block

Yeah my friends blitz decided to just lose power and now it won't start up anymore...doesn't even light up...So he's using a manual boost controller until he gets it fixed

The truboost isn't gear based though is it?

How about the apex-i avc-r? Any good?
