I don't know about the controllers your talking about, but I do know is you never save money skimping on something which you'll never be truly satisfied with. Lets face it Gazboy, a few months down the line your going to be hankering after that upgrade and eManage, oh the fun you can have messing around with your timing etc

Bite the bullet now or it will only richochet of your smouldering CC and hit you in the arse later!

Blitz Spec R,with 4 settings is wahat you had in the MR2 yes? If your used to that & like it,stay with it.
O.T.O.H.
I've got a TG profec B in the 'liner.Only 2 (hi-lo)programmable settings,but dead good bit of kit,imo,reliable,easy enough to set up & versatile too.Can adj spool-up times etc,which can be useful in some situations.I've not had any probs with mine.

Agreed,any modular systems which save ars*ing about putting in extra/redunant wiring harnesses is a bonus.
I like the E-manage system,if you think you may want to add to it in the future,it'll be worth splashing out on.
Apexi pfc not appeal?-will do all the same stuff,just not as pretty.

The E-Bay seller(TG E-01) seems to have good feed-back,99.4%.Ought to be safe.
Check out his online'shop' ,a few items that should interest you.

Has your supe got the standard boost gauge Gaz? OEM pressure gauges are notoriously innaccurate(sp?) If you're thinking of some tweaking/tuning in this area a decent analogue gauge would be a wise purchase.
-Just spending your money for you
Apparently black Defi gauges are the 'must have' brand this season dah-lings

Me? Greddy warning mem gauges(come with a data-logger & light up if boost goes over set limit)pick 'em up cheapish from E-bay.
Those E-manage docs upload ok?

And how long will that stay until it's nicked!!!

Appreciated.
With my Apexi screen(not as wide but longer),I've dash-mounted it on velcro.When I park up,there's another velcro strap under the dash.Easy-peasy out of sight.
