Boost Controllers

[rubbersidedown]

I know there is manual and electronic controllers. I've tried to do a little reading and i know that a lot of electronic ones seem to have a problem w/ keeping the correct boost level w/out speaking, or maybe i'm mistaken. I only really ever plan to run about 18 pounds of boost and i'm keeping my 14b which i'll probably have ported and polished. Would i be better off w/ a manual or an electronic controller? What type of controller and what brand of controller do some of you people out there use who run 1/4 miles times around the 12 range? All info is appreciated. Thanks.

Well actually I heard EBC's hold boost better and stop spiking since they use a soleniod instead of a ball and spring. Both of them work fine it's all about your personal tastes and budget. I have a MBC now but I'm ordering and EBC tomorrow becasue I finally have the cash and want to be able to control boost from inside the car.

if you want to be able to switch your boost from low to high easily then get an EBC..otherwise save your $$ and get a MBC..

I have heard (this is text experience not actual hands on) that the Profec B is the best EBC that doesn't spike...on the MBC there are a lot ot choose from and some spike while others may not. I have seen that people are very satisfied with the Joe P, Turbo XS and a few others. Your chioce cause its yer wallet.....
