I would personally go for th avc-r, for the ease of use and the ability to have 2 boost settings. It is what I run on both my 2ltr car and the 2.5 car dynamix.

Have you tried the Greddy?

That seems a much simpler set up - plug in a go with 2 boost settings

We have run both controllers. The Greddy Profec B is easier to install and use but the functionality of the AVCR is superior.

You cant raise boost without checking fueling and listening for the onset of detonation. You can install them yourself though.

Ok cool...my bleed valve setup i believe is causing my car to overboost. My gauge is showing 26 psi when fully open throttle. I know this is not normal, but the car has been seriously modded. I was thinking of fitting an electronic boost controller as i believe the bleed valve is not reliable. I am also getting a fuel cut in 5th gear under hard acceleration.
