fully digital

Cons are none other than price!

Same here - only real con is price, but still worth it to me. Solenoid is a little large, but that's a real stretch for another con.

Other pros:
Boost comes on quickly and smoothly, no spikes.
Boost graph.
Peak/hold boost gauge built in. Saved a little money and dash space on a gauge. (And fun to laugh at with wife when she takes the car out and brings it back peaked at 7.8psi.)
4 "channels" (presets) for quick setting.

Read in bar or PSi

cons:

my solenoids died and now I have to shell out $220 to replace both of them.

Same as above - did have the controller fail when it was first put in - replaced at no cost - The controls are very user friendly...

Joe P MBC

Pros:

Has held the boost I set it at for a year and a half with no adjustments.
Only spikes to about 1.03 bar at WOT, have it set at .94.
Neat, clean install. Nothing inside the cabin to worry about

Cons:

Have to get under the hood if I ever wish to adjust it.

I had 3 different manual Boost controllers

1. Boost controller.com = eorkrd perfectly for 1 year then it would get stuck at 6 psi

2. Boost controller.com = JermyG's boost controller, worked perfectly for him, but My boost would drift around +- 2 psi depending on weather.

3. Voodoo MBC : It woul stick if I mooutned it sideways, I had to mount it with adjuster pointign stright up to wrok right. Boost would change +- 4 pis depedning on weather.

4. Boost DSBC, old one, worked perfect just wish didpsly was in PSI.

5. Greeddy, I just never liked it, it was hard to use compared to the Blitz

i have noticed many boost controllers fluctuate as temperature and humidity change, including my greddy profec b spec 1. i didn't note this as a con since just about everyone i have spoken to have had this issue. does anyone not have this happen?

I have not noticed it on the Blitz controller in my RT/TT and I run as high as 28.5 psi at the strip....dont know about other with Blitz controllers - sure they will speak up....
