Default Jaycar Boost Controller

I did a search and only saw it mentioned but there's no real involved topics on this controller. Does anyone on this forum have one or know someone that does. I'd really like to hear some peoples experiences with it. Seems to be popular overseas on Skylines and other boosted cars. It seems to be a great alternative to the traditional expensive electronic boost controller modules and even more accurate. Here's some info for those who don't know anything about it:

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one but I wanted to see if anyone had feedback on it before I spent the money. Plus I still need to find out what kind of solenoid is compatible with it. Thanks in advance for anyone with info.

What does it do that a regular electronic boost controller doesn't? Mapping the boost per engine load doesn't seem like such a great idea. The more boost the quicker is all you want.

It seems like it would help eliminate boost creep, allow changes to the bosst settings from the drivers seat and it is based on the engine load. Once it's all setup you wouldn't need to adjust anything but it seems like it would be of help setting boost levels based on how you drive. Just wanted peoples firsthand experice with these things to see if it is actually worth a ----.

Boost creep is from improper location or flow to that location, of the wastegate. Or a bad wastegate.
