Programmable Boost Settings
-
Boost by gear (with auxiliary input)
-
Boost cut safety limits
-
Gate pressure adjustments
-
Scramble boost mode
The Tru-BoostX Boost Controller gauge delivers digital accuracy but with the simplicity of a manual boost controller. All AEM Tru-Boost gauge programming is done using the faceplate buttons and no laptop is required.
52mm Digital Display
-
Crisp OLED readout
-
Sweeping LED ring
-
Blacked-out face for an OEM-plus appearance
-
Interchangeable bezels and faceplates
AEM’s specially designed Boost Control Solenoid and all necessary hardware is included. Program Two Boost Levels + Scramble Boost Setting – Program two boost modes for different levels of performance (up to 80PSIg internal MAP sensor), and program a time-based scramble boost setting that is controlled using a switched input.
Peak-Hold & Data Recall
Stores previous readings so you can check max boost after each pull.
No Laptop Required
All tuning and configuration are handled directly through the gauge interface.
You can also turn off the controller and use the gauge as a display. Change Wastegate Open Pressure-Ideal for reducing boost spikes and improving spool up.
Included in the Box

Tru-BoostX digital gauge (52mm / 2-1/16”)
-
High-speed boost control solenoid
-
Wastegate-compatible fittings & hoses
-
Wiring harnesses
-
MAP/boost pressure sensor
-
Mounting hardware & bezels
A complete boost controller system in one kit.
Display Boost Levels in PSIg (PSI), BAR or kPa (PAS) -See your boost in the units you prefer, and scale the 24 outer LEDs to match your peak boost levels for the perfect sweeping motion. Set Alarms and Display Peak Boost-Set the 24 green outer LEDs to flash based on boost pressure so you are alerted to an overboost condition. A ground output is included for reluctoring an optional LED warning light. Select the “B” button to see peak boost level and clear the value using the menu.
Why Enthusiasts Choose the Tru-BoostX
-
More accurate and responsive than manual controllers
-
Quicker spool and tighter pressure control
-
Protects your engine from unexpected overboost
-
Cleaner install than standalone ECU boost control
-
Reliable solenoid control even at high boost levels
Works great for:
-
Turbo street builds
-
Track cars
-
Time attack
-
Drag applications
-
Any build needing stable boost management
Overboost Protection Built In-Protects your engine from an overboost condition by shutting the boost control solenoid off until it is reactivated by you through the buttons on the faceplate.
Performance Advantages
-
Precise boost control improves power consistency
-
Reduces turbo lag
-
Prevents boost creep and spikes
-
Helps maintain safe AFR under load
-
Works with internal or external wastegates
This is the kind of upgrade that makes a turbo car feel right.
Integrated Error Protection-Alerts you to a fault if the boost control solenoid is shorted or disconnected so you are never left guessing whether the Tru-BoostX is operational.
Installation Notes
-
Requires routing boost reference line to MAP sensor
-
Solenoid can be mounted near turbo for faster response
-
ECU integration optional via analog output
-
Avoid running hoses close to high-heat components
Typical install time: 1–2 hours.
Datalog using AEMnet CAN bus-Outputting channels over AEMnet provides so much more than just boost pressure! Send 13 channels of data over a 2-wire connection, including boost pressure,
Final Verdict
The AEM 30-0352 X-Series Tru-BoostX Gauge is one of the most efficient and reliable boost controller systems on the market.
It combines high-speed digital monitoring with powerful solenoid control, giving you faster spool, safer boost levels, and clean cockpit visibility in a single, compact package.
If you’re running a turbo setup, this is a must-have upgrade for performance and engine safety.


Kristopher J. –
died after 14 months and AEM has abandoned their products and refuse to repair like they used to. STAY AWAY
E_Boost –
Product failed after warranty period and AEM is not providing Support or Repair Service for the unit. Total waste of money.
