Boost Control Options for APS
I was thinking of my options for boost controllers on my APS TT system.
Theoretically, I should be able to put an electronic unit on the car with the same springs that are in the actuators currently (as long as the boost is not limited to under 8 psi).
What have you guys for boost controllers on your APS systems?

I currently have a TurboSmart manual boost controller that we installed during tuning last July to get the 10.5 psi we wanted. I really want an electronic boost controller so that I can limit boost in 1st gear to around 6 psi... Also, the small hex screw that locks the MBC in place is stripped, so I can no longer adjust the boost with the unit I have...
I hear the Greddy units are quite good...

Blitz SBC I Color here! Initially, had some issues with the sequential valve piece and had that replaced at Blitz HQ on their dime....the unit now works great! The I Color is pricey at $750-800, but it does have tons of features similar to the ID III and many more, in use with the APS kit the speed/rpm boost mapping feature and boost graph display are essential tools.
As Bruce stated above the EBoost2 is a nice unit with the APS kit as well.

It will let you set different boost levels and waste gate duty cylces for each gear.

For the bargain price of $1200, you can get the World Motorsports TBC-1. 
The new TBC-1 from WORLD electronics proportionally controls turbocharged boost up to 60 psi with an accuracy of 1/10 psi. The state of the art controller is operated via a color touch-screen LCD. Boost is displayed via a choice of real-time analog or digital gauge screens. In addition, the controller has a built in turbo timer and contains a data recorder. The recorder is capable of saving and plotting three 20-second intervals of boost, rpm, and throttle data. Finally, World electronics has added an aerospace quality pressure transducer and solenoid valve along with all the necessary hardware.

Now why do you have to show me that Richard, now I need to get one, j/k. Hey I have the Turbosmart Eboost2 and I love it, easy to use is the main thing. I also liked the fact that it was a round gage type boost controller, so I just went ahead and mounted it on my a pillar with my fuel psi gage. It has audible alarms, and can control nitrous or alky injection and can be used as a shift light with an extra LED that you can purchase for it. Pretty cool piece, got mine for $460 shipped on Ebay, otherwise Jegs has them for $499. Richard my 3 inch downpipes are done, we went with a stock C6 Z06 3 inch H-Pipe after that, and well I decided to go ahead and straight pipe it all the way to the tips, 3 inches the whole way. Only reason is because we could not fit the electric cutouts anywhere with the new 3 inch piping. Fuel pump goes in monday morning, I'll let you know what happens on the dyno.

Is Gil doing the fuel pump upgrade?? If so do some snooping around with his Z06 TT kit, I want your honest opinion on it!
I'll call you next week.

I'm waiting for one of you 'ballers' to install this bad boy:
http://www.hayabusacentral.co.uk/sho...p?idproduct=86
personally I like a manual boost controller. Its easy to operate so there is no complicated install and no long instruction booklet to learn and its also reliable and inexpensive.
I've had great results with Hallman, TurboXS and even the $30.00 Joe P manual boost controller.
