I have never owned one personally however I know guys with them. I dislike aem electronic products and this is no exception. Its junk for starters. Overcomplicated as well. If you want to change boost settings be prepared to not be moving, and break out the instruction manual. It isnt nearly as simple as it seems like it could be by entering in a desired boost pressure and it just holding it there........ NOooooo It couldnt be that simple.

Get something on the lines of a greddy profec s because its simple and reliable. 3 knobs and 1 button... Gain control sets the wastegate responce, then you have a high and low boost setting. With the controller off you can run off the wastegate. With the controller on and on low boost setting you can run your desired pressure. With another hit of a button you can have a higher boost setting with the 3rd knob. If you want to up the boost or turn it down all you have to do is turn a knob. Sure its expensive, but aem is a junk controller and the wrong settings can reak havok on your engine.
