AVCRs are good but imo, overly complex unless you\'re after a very specific setup. Most aren\'t.

Have no experience with HKS or Blitz controllers.

Greddy is good. Nice and simple and does what it\'s supposed to.

I hear useful things about Gizmo controllers which are cheap but again, no experience with those.

Apexi avcr is great.
Profec can sometimes be unreliable.

Profec spec II all day long, never had a problem myself with the cars I have mapped with ones fitted. Simple to setup as well.

Siinplicity is often best... ran Greddy profec 1& 2 in my cars.. No problem what so ever.. I like the Apexi AVcr, had one too.. nice, but can be tedious to setup. Blitz, was great and I did an HKS for my friend.. he liked it too.

or you can do what I did.. Switch to AMS... Im running a AMS1000, which might be over kill for you, but you can try the AMS500..  the 500 Held rock steady at 45 psi while we were tuning.. :)
