Default boost controller

Hi all
What's a good sort of boost controller for my bug eye, I've been told to go for the HKS EVC-6 but still not sure as I know there are others out there at slightly more reasonable prices.
Any ideas, and where to go for them????

What do you want to do?
Your best and safest method is a remap, though it costs more, its safer than paying for an engine rebuild if you mess up with a boost controller!

Running a boost controller, takes away your ecu's safety net as you won't be able to go into limp mode if something goes wrong.
Remap is the way to go...

The OEM Denso ECU mated to a 3-port controlls boost very well, it can't control boost for each gear like some electronic boost controllers can but that won't be an issue.
