We`ve used the e boost 2 and sell them on our webshop.

They are very nice bits of kit and do pretty much anything you want, i love the full boost button function, ideal for overtaking etc when you have the controoler set to a lower boost channel.

Ronnie Amis uses one in his time attack car.

I like them a lot... not much around to equal them really.

I have got plenty in stock too so if you fancy one let me know, I will look after you on price for one.

I've got the cheaper version in mine, and it does the job... just.
Would definatly spend the extra and go for the 2 if possible, i just wish they did one in a sensible size and shape housing, rather than a 60mm gauge mount or whatever it was.

Boost per gear is a bit misleading.

It can do it, but it only has 4 settings available, and you need to fit 4 switches to the gear selector to tell it which gear you are in.

But other than that, it is an excellent boost controller.

Units that do true boost per gear without such switches are few and far between.

All makers need to step up and offer boost by gear based on a speed input and rpm

What car, and what ecu are you using ?

If true boost by gear is needed, the horrible Apexi AVCR can do it. Or Ive seen another one from plex-tuning in Greece that claim they can do it. Dont know anything about it though, only spotted it the other day.
