i know you can adjust sensatiivity on the ebc but in real life is there much difference
There are various levels of EBC.
Some are just an electrically controlled bleed valve.
Some are as above, but with a few extra features, maybe 2-3 settings.
Some will then allow you to block the signal to the w/g to assist spool
Some run in full closed loop and will try to maintain your boost target at all times. E-Boost 2 is most definitely in this category. It holds rock steady boost when some might fall off etc at the top end, or have boost spikes.
So yes there are huge differences and many options.
But a good ecu should be able to do those things too. The best thing about an EBC is it is fully adjustable at any time from the cabin. The ecu is not.
Of course, that adjustability can be a very bad thing in the wrong hands too. Plus a separate EBC can be expensive
