I like the Hallman Evo kit - manual boost controller but you can adjust it in the cockpit - on ebay buy it now for like $135. In cab makes it easy to setup and looks sweet be sure to get it tuned and some gauges!!!

There is a full install how to on hallman's site.

i had a forge and didn't like it at all... its way to sensitive. every 3 degrees in change it needed adjustment to hold the same boost.

i now have the greddy profec b 2 and its great. not as sensitive, and even if i need to change it its super easy and fast.

do your own research and decied on your own. i listened to every1 else and followed what they said, wasted money and was unhappy for 3 months before i finally did something about it. very few people on here actually know there stuff

cheers!

Always use the Hallman because they are easy to hook up and control

The HKS EVC VI is an excellent unit and can virtually eliminate boost taper.

Wait for the Cobb accessport. I had it on my wrx. It had a map for power and a map for saving gas and a few other options. I loved it.

i had an AVCR on my wrx and I never had a problem due to weather. For anyone who has switched over to EBC from MBC, it did not effect your tune at all as long as the boost levels remained the same right?

How do you like that true boost. I would be all over it if you didnt have to buy the additional 5-bar map sensor...
