I had the HKS EVC IV. It was a great controller and had what is known as the 
industry standard in stepper motors. It was a snap to program(meaning even I 
could figure it out) but could not program individual gears. I now run the 
Apexi AVC Type R that is fully programable. It learns the gear ratios of your 
transmission and you can program individual boost curves for each gear. The Apexi 
does require a software engineer to program. I am able to limit 1st gear boost 
to 20 psi and 2nd gear to 24 psi. I can also switch between low and high 
boost and do a blanket increase on all curves. 

If my memory serves me the Apexi does tap into the throttle position signal 
going to the ECU. Both of these controllers apply boost pressure to the top of 
the wastegate to help with creep(no Pizzo I'm not talking about you or any 
relative of yours). Somewhere I've got the manual for the Apexi and will confirm 
the inputs//// hold it I just checked and it does in fact have a throttle 
position input.
