turbo boost controller... advice needed

ok, so im waiting for the hahn level 5 kit to arrive. im shopping for two things...

1. a good quality elec boost controller...

2. cheap but "cool" looking turbo timer... preferably red display



hahn recommends the greddy profec II spec b, boost controller but they are a little pricey for me...

heres what i wanna run...

my question is who if anyone has the AEM tru-boost controller/gauge in 1? link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=025

it offers all the same features as the greddy but it would compliment my AEM WB very nicely, and it $150 cheaper...


as far as turbo timers im looking at some pretty cheap units from e-bay... link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...=p4506.c0.m245


i'de love to heat suggestion and thought on this stuff...

$299 here. I would say its worth it to have a nice unit that you wont have to worry about not working right.

As far as boost controllers... I'm very partial to the E-boost 2. It's a gauge style controller that has the most programmable features for it's size. Defiantly worth checking out.

Get a gear based boost controller. Such as the E-boost 2 like Omega said.

I'm going to be using a mechanical boost controller, Forge Unos. Its reasonably priced and your able to control boost at a quarter psi per click.
