Anyone have this boost controller or know anyone with it? Anyone know anything exact about it? Its supposedly the best on the market, and i'm thinking about buying it.

I'm considering one too... from Rado himself:

"Accurate within .10 psi up to 60 psi." He was running 52 psi at Bristol when I was talking to him about it. It can pull timing as well. You can set boost per gear, boost vs time and boost vs speed. Pretty bad-***.

yeah but for the price is it worth it? I mean you could buy a standalone ecu with boost control for the same kind of money

For a Supra a stand alone isn't necessary especially if I can control timing.

Considering any boost controller worth a damn is going to cost $500... I think it's well worth it if it REALLY is as accurate as Chris said.

Most of the people I know using standalones still use a boost controller. It wouldn't be much fun to have to fire up your ole Dell in order to turn up the boost.
