Electronic Boost Controller Help

Im looking to buy an A-Pillar from ZZP with the extra two gauge pods, along with my RPD. I planned to put an interceptor gauge and the AEM truBoost controller in. Who has experience with either of these gauges, and what are your opinions on them?

I really don't know much about boost controllers, and generally just go to ZZP and browse and when I have questions on something, ask them here.

\Thanks!

You can get the coupe triple gauge pod, the sedan a pillar and the rpd, do some magic with DIY stuff and you can have the RPD on the sedan. A member on here has made his own a pillar and had the RPD work with the sedan A pillar. Boost controllers or boost gauge? You don't need a boost controller but you can use the boost gauge in the rpd.

i have dual interceptors and theyre great, no complaints, as for boost controls ive installed a couple true boost controlers and they are easy to install and operate, straight forward and out of the way in a guage pod, also acts as a vacuum and boost guage.

If you have an lnf you don't need one. Boost controller is in your computer.

to control boost with the ecu youll have to flash a new low or high boost tune when you want to change it, cant change on the fly unless you have trifecta.

Yup listen to these guy, if u just go adjusting the boost with a controller ur gonna break ur engine. I have a solenoid failsafe boost control, when meth stops boost is cut in half. But that's not for driving around in, just to save my motor

i hear you tune for high boost then turn it down not the other way around? never used a boost controller on my own car tho,

i went the long rout, low boost tune for auto x and track and high boost for other uses
