Alphabet soup (chips vs. the rest)

[adey]

Erm, I don't know what that face is supposed to mean, but It's sort of how I feel. Just saying.

Anyway if I'm not too misinformed there are a couple of options for those of us running boost.

There are super chips out there that do all the tuning for us (sorts out A/F, boost, monitors this and that etc etc) These generally tend to be done by... err... US companies? (have no idea)

and there are all the separate gizmos, AVC-R, S-AFC, TTs (not really related),  BCS and a bunch of other things that we can run separately so we can adjust each variable to our liking. HKS, Trust, Apex'I and them all make these.

Is that about right? what do most of you run? First thing to put in along w/ the SR20 (or turbo if you're sticking to the KA) ? I assume it'd be a Boost Controller and Turbo Timer... what about all that AVC-R and S-AFC, F-CON IV and those?

Helllllppp I'm stuck in alphabet soup!
