I had one on my old 10th Anniversary. I played with it a lot, but never really used it as a boost controller - I just sold the car without tuning/running a lot of boost .

Anyhow, my impressions. First off, the thing has TONS of cool features. Lots of datalogging, tons of options for adjusting boost, etc. You can even set warning points, "safety" boost, all kinds of crap.

My big gripe is the display and remote. The display, put simply, sucks. It's hard to read at night or day. If they would have used a display like Apexi, they'd be worlds ahead. The display is also somewhat "slow" in its reaction - hit a button, and it takes a bit. The remote is also kinda goofy - more buttons on it than it really needs.

Having a fresh start with the FD, I'm planning on going with the AVC-R. I had one back in the day on the 10th, and loved it. Has TONS of options and stuff, but I love playing with that kind of thing . If they would put a better screen on the E-01, I'd probably go with one, but considering you have to do a LOT with the display, a bad screen is unacceptable.

I thought about one of those before I got the Blitz SBC-iD. While the Blitz doesn't have the nifty screen like the GReddy, it has just as many features while being quite a bit more user friendly. Needless to say, I have it on both of my cars.

LOL You know what's ironic? This is part of their advertised description of the E-01: "The large LCD screen, with green elecro-illuminesant backlighting is easy to see."
