I have an HKS EVC 1V on mine fitted it years ago, does the job well and never gone wrong, as tango said can be a little difficult to set up but once done it`s been as good as gold.

I just installed my Apexi AVC-R in my 3dr. Took me a bit of searching for the right ECU plug out diagram but thanks to PF I found it.
Apexi has heaps of features. Selectable boost programs, rev range boost programing, gear selective boost programing and a heap of eye candy gauges and playback functions. Bout the only thing I miss out on is the unit speedo as the Seirra doesnt have a speed output from the ECU. Again.. Pricey, but good
Fits real nice in the dash too!!

hmmm this is where is gets tricky... Down here in Australia you can almost buy one at a corner store! They are pretty common. I got mine form a Oz online store. You might have to do a little looking around.
