I went with the Blitz ABC and have been very happy with it. The Blitz is around $500.

I got the Greddy Profec B. MTI used it with the STS install on HoustonZ06's car. Worked perfectly. I've heard some people have had trouble with them but it was recommended to me so that is what I went with. I've only installed the solenoid and ran the wiring and hoses so I haven't seen it in action yet. I like it because the control unit will fit into the ashtray area. Nice and compact.

Ive used the Greddy Profec B on a variety of cars. Works very well, and is very keenly priced.

Most of the expensive boost controllers have a bunch of features....that you will never need.

I've had 2 Blitz DSBCs (Dual Solenoid), both old style and newest, they've been solid. If you're new to EBC's you'll want to read up on programing the Blitz. It's a bit more involved than most, though it does have some nice features. Built-in boost gauge, peak/hold boost display, four different boost programmable channels, boost warning, scramble boost, and a boost limiter safety feature to help from over boosting, gain function to help spool, etc.

Btw, you can get these for closer to $400 at "some" places.

The GReddy Profec is good also.
