Default Electronic Boost controllers...

Whats up guys. Shopping for a EBC. I want to go with a EBC for the ease of adjustment from the cab and multiple boost settings. I have a HKS EVC II now and love it. Im Twincharging my Cooper S and looking for a EBC for it. Ive been looking at the following:

HKS EVC 5
Blitz SBCi-D III
Greddy Profec E-01


If you own/use any of the above, please let me know how you like it.
Thanks.....

+1 on the spec II, probably because its pretty simple, the e-01 seems a bit complex to me, I think it offers some more advanced tuning features (can be integrated with e-manage) and some of those extra gauges that don't really do much but add to the "cool gizmo" effect.

If you JUST want an ebc, go for the spec II, it has a lo and hi boost setting and various other little settings. Its simple, its effective, its good.

I have the EVC 5. Tons of settings, but can be kept simple if you prefer, also. Has a digital boost gauge, warning set, peak hold, and various other settings.

+1 It has simple features for what you prefer and when you start wanting to experiment and get into more difficult settings it's there for you. I love it
