Seems like every big turbo build here uses it; hopefully some of them will chime in.

I haven't used that product, but I use their stand-alone controllers (which control boost) and they are seamless.

Call AEM and ask for JC. He can answer any questions.

I have used a few of them Guy, they work good. Doesnt have the options of an AMS1000, but doesnt come with the big price tag either. Good street unit.

Buy the AMS1000 the first time and save yourself the trouble of not having what you need when you need it. I have heard of people doing well with the AEM, but you can't beat the AMS1000 unless you get an AMS2000

I've been using the AEM Tru-boost on my rear mount setup and it works great for what I need. For the price it is a great option.

Takes 2 seconds on the fly to go from boost A, boost B, or Off(WG spring).

Also, can use a single button to trigger Scramble boost(can set for more or for less boost.) I use it as a trigger on the shift **** to go from 10#s to 14#s if I need that extra hit in the heat of the moment.

AMS1000 is the bomb if you need that much control and have the budget.

Still favor the EB2 for a few reasons but there are a lot of nice options out there now.
