Air injectors are ancient, and only one part of a boost control system.

Of more importance is what ecu is going to control them, how capable is it ? and what failsafes does it offer ?
As for air injectors being easier to set up ? How do you figure that ? Only the person remapping the ecu can set them up.

Anyone can set up an EBC. That makes an EBC much easier in that respect.

And for the most part, you can treat an air injector in the same way as a boost control solenoid. They are both simply solenoids that pass air and bleed or block the pressure to the w/g actuator

You want to, or your mapper wants to ? And the ecu should always have an overboost failsafe, regardless of boost control method.

And it will only make too much boost if an idiot sets the boost control system up wrong or turbo selection for the engine is very very bad.

So what ecu is it ? How capable is it's boost control ?

Although I cant really see any reason for any road car to ever need air injectors as part of a boost control setup.
And even in competition, it would only be extreme setups that might benefit.
