EB2 works SOOO much better. Couldn't draw a better boost curve. Once you get familiar with it I think it's rather intuitive.

In overall theory, yes...
But with the KB, there is no charge piping. So its ALOT more difficult to make that work.
That being said, not only did we figure out a way to electronically bleed the boost, but we also created a way to virtually eliminate IAT issues at low RPM, and recirculate the boost pressure through an air-to-air intercooler. This has DRAMATICALLY lowered IAT's and keeps the S/C silent while doing so.
I just need to test it electronically, VS mechanical.
Best of all, its a VERY quick (less than and hour) instal, and can be done by anyone. The only drawback is the wiring of the boost controller.
Sooooo, basically, what I am seeing is, is the E-Boost 2 is not only the best, but its a major PITA to work with.. WONDERFULL..

I would be curious to see how my car would do with a little less than 16psi in first, 2nd, and prob even 3rd gear. I am guessing you just have to mount 6 microswitches...or even 4 and just make 4-5-6 all the same boost level.

I just run 4 switches, 5th having the same boost as 4th. Wasn't concerned with 6th as it isn't a gear I use at WOT.

Greddy Profec B spec II is cheap and cheerful, and easy to use.
As would be the lower end Blitz stuff like the DSBC Spec R
E-Boost is of course nice....but with a large price tag to match. And lets face it...only top end builds need such levels of performance.
A friend recently used some of the Gizzmo stuff..and was happy enough with it too.
There really is little point buying a $500 part, that handle the task any better, or easier than say a $200 one.
If you need in gear boots, or rpm vs boost...then of course more money needs to be spent.
