The few times I tried a MBC, they didn’t keep the boost as stable as an HKS, and it sucked to pull over to adjust the boost. ---

HomeDepot! LOL I had to But 4 srs, I made one and it is ROCK stead. I had a turbo XS prior to and it was the same performance. HomeDepot one cost about $15 to make. BALL AND SPRING, dont get a bleed type, they dont work well at all. ---

HKS is good, Greddys are nice, Apexi are nice can get a little expensive, ARK Design are nice and compact as well are AEM unit. MBC tend to where out and not be as stable esp. with higher boost labels. I recommend investing your money in a EBC over the manual ones. I have and ARK Design ABC (Advanced Boost Controller) on hand for $375 ---

HKS, GReddy, World Electronics, ARK. Depends on the car. On my Subaru, I don’t use one. I just have an uprated boost control solenoid and use the factory ECU for control. ---

I’ve tried/used several Greddy EBC’s and never had one that was simple to use AND worked worth a shit. ---

+1 for hallman pro also. I just bought one a few days ago ($70 shipped to the door), but have yet to recieve/install it. Dont get me wrong my homedepot one I built works great, but I am setting up a date with ForceFed to get my jetta tuned and will be wicking up the boost and I would trust the hallman unit above the 24lbs I am running now much more. :thumbup BTW the Pro RX version with the lighter ball and spring is VERY accurate but I was told it wouldnt be for high PSI applications. \>18psi and the RX is a great choice. \<18 and stick with the normal Pro with ss ball and stiffer spring. :thumbup ---
