for me an electronic boost controller is the better option.
however, it all depends if you have a top notch ecu which is good with air injectors.
cost of either can be about the same, ebc's can be cheaper though and the gizzmo IBC MS is a bargain for £200

ECU control is always the best way but personally I would never use so called "air injectors" for the following reasons...
1) Cost !
2) They are an under bonnet fashion item IMO !
3) If they stop working for any reason you get uncontrolled over boost... BANG !!

im with simon,, it has to be ECU controlled, or the engine has a variable it CANNOT control!

To me they always came across as a quick and dirty solution to a problem, that had lived on in the YB market because 'everyone does it this way'.
I would be interested to hear from those who actually fit these things what exactly they provide as a benefit over the multitude of proper control valves on the market?
It just seems a bit strange to misuse a component, I can see why it was done originally all those years ago but why stick with it now?
Edited to add: Standalone boost controller is a separate issue from using air injectors.
