I don't know enough about boost controllers to give a review, all I know is that it works and its convenient. Still haven't sat down yet and learned all of its features.

I have the hks and have had no problems. I have heard from tuners that hks is one of the best and makes tuning easier because the solenoid is better than other brands.

Only thing I've noticed: An additional 1 psi will be generated past the cutoff point. Example, with the boost cutoff set to 12psi, the highest I've observed was 13.1psi.
