If you plan on boosting over 17psi you will need the 3bar map sensor that comes in the boost control kit, or a gm 3bar. PFC boost control is very simple, not like the AVCR. They just both use the same solenoid. So AVCR boost control solenoid for $150 and a 3bar map sensor for $70 and you can control boost on the pfc up until about 30 psi.

If you purchase the AVC-R solenoid, it will plug into the stock wiring harness and the power FC can control boost with that. That's what all the Power FC/Japan users use. It cost me $150~.
As a stand alone boost controller though...you can't beat the Profec B.

Some place called Motorsports Dynamic in CA has the map sensor for $69. Here is a link to the "other" forum where they talk about it.

justin from what ive heard the PFC is inconsistant at best when it comes to controlling boost. The ORIGINAL Profec B is tried, true, and simple, where some people have had issues with the Spec II. I believe its Turbonetics who also has a brand new controller out that can control boost depending on gear, rpm, engine load, etc up to 45psi 
If it was my money, id get the simplest thing out there that works flawlessly, so id go with the original profec B.
