http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1038663 A few posted in this thread about that unit. It looks like a nice unit - still undecided on it!

Interesting, I might want to get one.

How are these things setup? Are the electronics inside the gauge, and then there are remote actuators that sit near the wastegates?

I had to send mine back because the display was only showing half of the numbers. When I got it back and tried to get it working per the instructions, the display just read -1 and stayed there. I'm just going to take the E-boost out of the car, change the spring in my wastegate to about 10 lbs, and run the boost off it. JMHO, go with another controller.

I have sold over 100 units, have yet to have one come back. I haven't had any problems with these or the Profec B. The other units I have had issues with, especially with the fuzzy logic controls.
