AEM Tru-Boost Gauge Controller
http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=68
I recently bought a turbonetics single turbo kit for my Z and am in the midst of deciding on my gauges and controllers. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the AEM Tru-Boost Gauge Controller? It seems to be a pretty nice option for me since it's both stand-alone and gauge style. I am going to be using emanage ultimate system with it.
Also, since the AEM controller comes with a pressure sensor and harness, do I still need one for my emanage ultimate piggyback system for tuning? I assume not, but would like some input!
Any help would be great!

I have not used one personally, but for a simple and effective boost controller I have heard good things.
I don't see anything about it having an output for the map signal and you would have to find out what the sensor is calibrated to for use with emanage. While it is possible to split the signal and have it work with the emanage, I would stick to keeping them separate for the simplicity.

Thanks for the input! Anybody else?

Anybody else? I really need to decide on whether going with this unit or a greddy boost gauge and greddy boost controller. What does everyone think?

I have the TN and just installed the AEM Tru-Boost. Here's my experience....
1.) the TN runs too low of boost (if you run it safely) to have any control over the system. Even at the lowest settings I was boosting over 10.5 Lbs and this is over 6000 feet above sea level where it should run less.
2.) With our setup and having to run the B.C. at it's lowest setting, I found the wastegate wasn't being closed completely until desired boost was achieved and again it also would go beyond what I limited it to.
I now run my TN kit safely with the B.C. turned off, it peaks at 8.5 (I would like a BIT more , but don't want to blow the motor. I posted many questions at the AEM forum. They so could not fix my issue that they deleted my thread.Bottom line GO WITH ANYTHING ELSE!!!!
