Another vote for the AVCR here

Once you figure out how all the functions work, you can get amazingly stable boost control

Smile Hybrid Boost Controller

I'm not familar with the units you mention but you might want to consider the Hybrid Boost Controller, good value at £140 for the same effect. Just fitted one to my car.

You get full instructions with the kit. It's easy to fit and does not take long, 2 hoses, and 3 wires, +12V, negative and signal. Mount the controller unit somewhere on your dash. I removed my ash tray and made a piece to fit the hole from a DVD case, same colour as dash. Then its just a matter of adjusting the 2 ranges to get your desired boost. easy peasy.

Yes, I set the low boost at standard level, 12 psi and the high boost at 16psi. You just have to press the button to flick between the 2 ranges.

The AVC-R is the most complete boost controller.
