Question Laptop Programmable Electronic Boost Controller?

I would like to replace my manual boost controller with an electronic boost controller. I have looked at several products (APEXI, Greddy, Blitz,...,...) but dislike the displays and the user interface.

I would like to buy a electronic boost controller which can be programmed with a laptop.

Is this available?

Andrew is right, John can setup the SMT-6 can be setup to control boost. Personally, I would rather have a black **** and keep that spot in the SMT open for something else. (WI maybe? )

The SMT6 is capable of boost control. However, the extra parts needed MAP/BOOST sensor & boost solenoid are fairly expensive, almost the price of a good used EBC. Also, setting up boost with the SMT6 can be time consuming as not all WGs out there perform the same..
