Boost controlers..>?

[tomsupra48]

Whats everybody running and whats the best? Ive been looking at the turbosmart single stage or dual...any input?

I really like my Apex'i AVCR. Yes it is expensive and a little hard to use at first but it is awesome.

maftpro... a little confusing at first, but very effective

i got a turbosmart dual stage, actually im not able to set boost properly, ima check my wastegate, cuz with the boost controller i cant go under 18 lbs of boost, and thats without pushing the car too much (dont want to overboost)

maybe a factory defect or simply my wastegate

turbo xs mbc - very simple and worked good
maft pro - little complicated but love it now!

Really liked my AVCR when I had it before the MoTeC.

Apexi AVC-R FTW!!!!!

 

[spoolint78]

apexi avcr and secondly the profec.

 

[7MGTEsup]

MAFT pro here and love it.

I really like the AEM tru-boost, solenoid seems to be of good quality, plus doubles as a sweet boost gauge if you don't already have a nice one!:icon_bigg

the search button will answer that... go into the piggyback forum section and there are about 5 stickies covering it

I have the AVCR and it is a little confusing to use at first, but now I have no problems and I love it.

hallman mbc works just great for me, doesnt get easier than turning a knob.

 

[Rennat]

i LOVE the hallman MBC's... there so smooth and easy.

i've also used a 'home depot' MBC... and it worked fine.

I am currently using an HKS EVC 1 (electronic boost controller) and its super simple to use. Turn the knob clockwise for more boost and turn it counter clockwise for less. There is also a high and low boost options but I've never bothered to use it. The only downfall of this unit is you really need a boost guage in order to set it.

"Voodoo III" ebay POS MBC loses boost as RPM's climb and flat out sucks.

I've been considering AEM Truboost for price and ease of install/use. I'm glad to hear a positive here and there.

i use a mbc from twosrus.com its universal, $50 and really easy to install. only took me 15 minutes. very reliable you don't have to worry about any wiring.

<-- likes MoTeC boost controller!

but also like the HKS IV EVC. Works quite well.

same one i have and its dead reliable. No boost creep or spikes, just exactly the boost i want, when i want it.

the main question for the OP is do you mind shelling out ~$200 for an EBC or go the cheaper route with an MBC? Also what are your current mods as we all my be putting the cart before the horse if you don't have an intake/exhaust at a min.
