Does anyone have this thing? I can't find any reviews on it anywhere. Seems like the guage is also the controller, is this any good? I'm looking to get a boost controller and I want the best for my needs. I plan on staying CT26 for quite awhile. Its just this AEM is the only controller I can pick up without having to ship out here.

no one knows anything? I still have yet to see anyone use this on the supra, im sure some people do though. I can see it going both ways. Looks a lot more convenient and i like the digital display rather than a needle, but theres gotta be some downfalls for having the controller built into the guage. I'm mostly concerned about the quality of the boost, if theres a lot of spiking with a certain controller, etc.

its only been 4 hrs chief, usually the min bump rate is 24 hrs. a link to the product might also be a good idea for those of us who are less than familiar with it.

Well, if you're planning on staying CT for a while, pickup a cheap manual boost controller and a cheap autometer gauge. Both of which are pretty easy to get at Lordco/Kinetic.

I got one.
I havent tried it jet because DriftMotion is installing it but I get the car tomorrow night so i'll see how it is. We decided on this unit because of its features and price and from what I read and gathered, it holds boost up to 29 psi very well no leaks. So I said yeah, go with that one.

Its a gauge and a controller in one and at a great price.

That's really cool. I can't find anything on the size of the gauge, weather it's 52 or 60 millimeters. Am I blind? Any of you guys know what size it is?

Edit: found it, it's 2 1/16" so 52mm, same as the AEM uego, will look nice together in a dual pod.

The price is the best part, its a very good deal in my eyes. It has all the features any other boost controller has and its a well known company. Post your results with this thing, I gather you get your car back tonight?

Yes I got it back tonight and im in love.
The AEM is great, has lo and hi settings as well as many other features. Also has different face colors and 2 bezel colors although I stuck with black face with black bezel.

I gotta say tho, im learning how to drive all over again with this car. Mis-shifted during my first test drive with Jose because im not used to this trans, but im gettin the hang of it. I'll post pics of the post DriftMotion swap tomorrow with daylight.

It is a 52mm (2 1/16") gauge size. It installed easily. The digital number display shows vacuum, and then when it goes into boost the leds light around the outside and the numercal led display shows the boost. The led bad around the outisde can be scaled to any boost level you want. That's cool because if you are going to boost 15 psi then you can make the led's show 18psi full scale, and when you upgrade you can make it higher.

I can do it for $320 shipped. Retail is $411.
