I really like the ease and simplicity of my Hallman, but for a FWD, having one boost setting may not be acceptable for you. A friend of mine has a dual stage MBC from dejon tool that he really likes.

greddy profec b

I was thinking of a dual stage turbo xs or an apexi super avc-r

i have a hallman mbc. mine is a royal pain. i have to re-adjust it every day. one day i set it dead on 16psi, i go to drive it the next day & it peaks at 20psi. i am looking for a new one as well.

I WAS gonna get a dual stage MBC, but it's easier IMO to just not give it 100% throttle in first gear than to flip a switch to go to a higher boost setting between shifts.... Even if you do get a dual stage boost controller for the purpose of 1st gear grip, you still wont be able to give it 100% throttle unless you run a damn low boost setting in 1st gear. If you decide on a dual stage boost controller, get it because you want to set a street boost level and a track boost level, not because you want to switch boost levels between shifts. However if you insist on switching preset boost levels on the fly (between shifts), I recommend the GReddy profec b with the remote switch. Mount the remote on the steering wheel and you'll be straight...

JOE P MBC= easy install, works great (after adjusted corretly), and most important it's cheap!!!!!

Great link!!! I was reading the instructions and I'm confused on how he adjusted the boost controller. Anybody else have any good links on how to make a boost controller???

If you want to go MBC make sure you get a Ball and spring not the bleeder type, this is why ppl have problems with the hallmans and the joePs, On the other hand the Ball and spring ones like the Extreme XMBC will hold more constant boost levels. They may be alil more expencive but i just had a friend that was runnign a JoeP, and while he was racing his 2G his boost spiked to 22psi and blew his motor.

If you want to go with a digital Boost controller im a big fan of the HKS EVC EZ or EVC VI.

I have personaly used the Extreme XMBC and the HKS EVC VI. Loved them both but the ease of being able to control the boost from inside the car on the HKS puts it at the top of my list...

Just my .02...

I also have an extreme XBC and it is great. if I got an electronic it would be a blitz beceause a profec has trouble over 24psi.

[Tsi]

I got the Greddy Profec B
it hasn't given me any problems yet.

Hey jdmawd how much did you pay for the Extreme i haven't seen it before now

 

[jdmawd]

it was on sale for $80, the regular price is $100. it is a very high quality controler set it and forget it.

By accident it spiked to over 24psi once but daily I keep it at 18psi.

With Hallman MBCs now selling for $50, it would be foolish to get any othet MBC...
