I have never used an external boost controller. I always let the engine ecu control the boost. The only addition sometimes is an on-off switch, so that the car only has low boost.

Why do you want/need such a controller?

In cabin adjustability and I have heard the boost curve is much more stable when you run a proper boost controller.

boost doesn't drop off, gain func to bring turbo in harder/faster

Has anyone used one of these Prosport items?
On the face of it they look like a good buy but is it better to buy an HKS item or maybe a Gizzmo?
I have never heard of this Prosport USA brand before so if anyone has had experiences with them it would be great to hear your experiences.
