I am wondering on which to purchase. I have read the reviews on the Max-E torque and boost controller, but haven't heard much on JK performance ECM and TD boost Control. Which is better or are they the same. I have never bought from Heath but have bought from JK and am very happy with the service and parts. Any help would be appreciated.

6-5 and pick 'em :D

JK's boost control retains the factory equipment (vac pump, solenoid, etc) to allow more boost.

Heath uses a spring loaded wastegate actuator to control boost. It eleminates vacuum equipment.

Both ways have their advantages and drawbacks. I have the turbomaster because my vac pump shot craps.

Both ECM chips/modules provide noticable improvment on power (not 80HP worth, but noticable)

You really cant go wrong either way. (unless you don't get gauges, then you run the risk of destroying your engine)

One thing we do special is add a bit of glow plug duration to help cold starting. ;)

Thanks for the help. I will most likely purchase the JK system.
