I'm about to install an AEM CAI tomorrow and decided to "go the whole hog" on the intake side of things over Xmas and get a FM ThrottleBody Intake, FM MBC, Jackson Racing 52mm boost gauge, single generic A-Pillar pod and a spare driver-side A-Pillar trim to mount the A-Pillar pod to (so that if I screw it up, I'll still have the original one).
I decided to use a single A-Pillar mount since I believe I can fit it as close to the bottom of the windscreen as possible, keeping it out of the way of everything, still be visible to me, amd not too visible externally. I'm not keen on mounting the gauge in an air-vent since here in QLD I need all the air flow I can get since I'm not a QLD "native" (ex-Croweater).
Pauly convinced me to go to "Autobarns" and while I was there I spotted the Gizzmo MS2 boost controller and was pretty impressed with it and its size - the guys there thought it was pretty "schmick" too. I believe that I can mount it in the bottom centre console pocket.
For a description of this product, see http://www.gizzmoelectronics.com/
Unfortunately the LEDs are now white (previous model's LEDs were blue) so they'll HAVE to be modified before installing into the car to match my existing Blue LED theme - can't have the interior looking like a bloody Xmas tree.
With this boost controller I won't need the MBC, boost gauge and associated pod, plus I can adjust the boost from within the car. This sounds like a great solution - is there any reason not to go down this path instead given that I have not yet installed my MBC and boost gauge?
All feedback appreciated, except if you "diss" the Crows (my AFL team) I may resort to sarcasm. Negative comments regarding Port Adelaide are welcome.

Gizzmo MS2 boost controller
Does it come with its own solenoid, or use oem one?
