I want it for when i get another turbo (gtir or superspool) & want to be able to control hi/low boost, be able to adjust how hard the boost comes on (thats not a technical term i know) also some kind of safety system would be nice. Most of all it needs to be reliable, don't want one thats nothing but hassle. I was going for the Apexi but i've heard of a few problems which has put me off slighty.

As far as i can see the Greddy is a simple boost controller, but the Apexi/Blitz do a hell of alot more, and monitor/report on alot more, and are possibly quite complex if you really get into the set up of them. I assume that these are all good bits of kit, it just depends what extent you want to 'play' with stuff. I want the Apexi or Blitz, but think the greddy will suit me more. Be good to hear more comments and opinions.
