Uhhh...well it has a small lcd screen but not a large screen like the greddy E01 (used for the e-manage). THe greddy profec b spec II looks like this:



or at least...that's what mine looks like. You can also get it in silver (case).

Here's a quick overview/list of notable features from cardomain.com

CarDomain Overview

...Now with an added built-in boost pressure display, this is the perfect upgrade from your existing boost controller. JDM design and engineering is obvious on this unit, with an easy to read LCD screen that shows real-time boost pressure figures in kPa or PSI. Don't have a boost controller yet? The PRofec B-Spec II is an awesome first mod – even for the novice do-it-yourselfer! This unit does not require extensive programming and is perfect for low or high boost levels, single or twin turbos, and internal or external wastegates. Boost response and performance is managed with three settings: Gain, Start, and Boost, and up to 43PSI of boost can be controlled! In addition, the PRofec B-Spec II includes warning features that can cut off boost at specified levels.

The GReddy PRofec B-Spec II is available in a black or silver finish.

Features
Boost pressure display
Two preset boost levels
Large capacity inline solenoid valve
Optional Features (For use with PRofec e-01 and external sensor)
Real-time, peak, or last boost display (in either kPa or PSI)
Programmable warning and boost limiter functions

Yeah I'm trying to keep as much internals stock as possible for road racing. I don't want more then 375hp because for me it's not practicle. Then again I'll probably change my mind and want more hp..... But as for now, I have stock internals and I can boost 10 safely. Enough power to handle fast turns then pass on the straight away. Anyways were jacking JDM's thread, so if you want to chat aim me or PM me....
