Got the Turbosmart E-Boost 2 on my classic, 3 boost settings 1 for around town, 2 for a spirited drive and 3 for complete madness, all in all I find it a good unit.

Personally I would recommend the apexi avc-r, 3 boost settings, rpm controlled boost, adjustable start duty to meet target boost in lower gears and gear based boost judge.

Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.

Dawes works well

and also has excellent monitoring and playback modes. Great as a boost gauge to if you mount it in the right place.
