I don´t know the Blitz controllers, but I have the AVC-R in my car and I like it. Features: boost settings depending from RPM (500 RPM increments), gear depending boost settings, 2 switchable boost settings. A very usable device!

For a subaru you defenitely take the Apexi You have to decrease the boost after 6500rpm, and that can only be done with 1 unit an apexi. The rest you have to buy another unit to have this. You have to know what you are doing, the apexi is not easy to use.
The Blitz is very stable, much more then the apexi, but not so much variation. And there is a better record ability and very easy to use

Apexi for sure

Blitz is very limited in comparison, no gear dependant boost, no RPM dependant boost, the Apexi has both

So Apexi seems the best out of these 3.

What about Apexi and HKS?

Mark,
If you use a Dawes can you just tweek it until you get the boost you want? my MY97 uk turbo runs just under 1bar and i want to increase it. how high can i safely go?

1.1 is probably max.

Its a bit of fine tuning by doing various runs, and checking the boost guage. Then adjusting the nut on the dawes til you get it right. I think they're only reccomended on UK cars though.

Very popular on here. EBC's are quite funky though
