Any boost controller will work. Boost control, has nothing to do with the ecu.

I have just got an E-BOOST by turbosmart to use with mine

This is the only one that controls boost creep that I know of. Providing you have an external w/gate

Boost creep is caused by the wastegates inability to flow enough exhaust around the turbine if I'm not mistaken, I'm not sure how the E-Boost can claim to control that. It is a very nice closed loop controller though as far as I have heard and on my list for future upgrades. Right now I'm just running a Profec B Spec II which is basically just a glorified bleeder valve type controller.

I was under this impression from a couple of freinds that work at AET TURBOS in the u.k. they suggested to get this unit over other units as they have had problems in the past with other units.
I had problems in the past with my apexi but that was also with standard ECU,turbo-wastegate etc.
If I am correct they said something about this unit being more efficient in controling the W/gate.
From looking at the manual its a lot easier to setup than the apexi too and it has 3 presets as opposed to 2.

I am using Blitz Dual-SBC Spec S with no Issues.

Really, It doesn't matter which Boost Controller you use...It's ran mutally exclusive with the MT.

You don't. The LT8 and a boost controller will work completely seperate from each other.
