Where to buy the HDI boost controller -

I think it's in AUS dollars.

So how does this one work exactly. It looks like it only has those two knobs to turn for adjusting it?

First time I see an EBC that you dont have to mess with duty cycles and 45127845 settings.

Seems very simple and user friendly to set up.

From what I understand, left knob is low boost setting and right knob is a high boost setting. If you push knob in it pops out. Then you adjust, drive to see where boost level is set on boost guage and then adjust again, etc until you get the desired boost level. Then push knob in and it locks the knob in place so it doesn't turn anymore.

I'm a bit confused by the optional switch, as they say it gives 10% more boost. But I thought the switch switches between the 2x boost levels.

Nice find! Should be popular on here. Sadly I don't think I would use it as a few hundred more is that much more reassuring (to me) that I won't overboost and kill my engine.

Seriously though, it's a much better option than going Greddy or HKS (which are above $500). Manual boost controllers cost this much so it's a good deal!

Well, 100% and 110% IS in fact 2 different boost levels

Yeah the select button controls which boost level you want.

For example, I run 10 PSI (absolute minimum on option A) and 16.5 PSI on the second option.

I don't have the extra 10% switch rigged up yet but it's kinda like a scramble boost set up.

M13, thanks.

NismoS-tune, HKS electronic boost controller has alot of other features which I gather makes it more expensive. From what I understand, this is just a very basic old style Greedy type electronic boost controller.

Here's a videoclip of pressing the select button to switch to high boost level -
