Default Boost controller

I am in the market for a good electronic boost controller but unsure of what brand to go with. I dont know if its one of those things that is really the same no matter the brand, so i figured I would see what VAdriven uses. Any info would be great, thanks!

Eh i had a greddy profec b spec 2 and i liked it, a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it, its pretty nice. You can turn it off to run the off the wastegate and there is 2 settings on the controller for 2 diff boost levels. It also has an overboost protection so if it spikes the controller will automatically turn it down how ever much you tell it to. Sold it to a friend of mine with a tt supra and he loves it as well.

nlr ams-500 or ams-1000 hands down one of the best controllers out there. I've had the greddy profec b spec II, an ecu controlled solenoid setup, and now the nlr ams-500. The closed loop control of the ams is awesome. I can also activate its different stages through the ecu. It features ramped control as well to help aid with traction.
