I have installed a lot of Forge MBC's on cutomers cars and I have only seen one or two out of many hundreds and hundreds go bad
With that said - there was a problem with the Forge silver ones as they are plished and the polishing grit was stuck inside some of them - I solved that by cleaning them
Now I just stock and sell the black ones which seem to work great
BTW - Hallman MBCs I have seen get stuck on many cars requiring the application of a vice grip to unstick them - they are a good product but I prefer Forge for many reasons
Most of all Forge has been a exelent member of the community and very top vendor in customer support
Finally the Forge UNOS and Forge RS bov (if you can get one) make a great combo

Thought you were a hallman junkie...remember year or so ago, you were selling Hallmans like they were the new "crack"
I have the Forge UNOS black and it works great for me...i did have to lube it once(which i have no problem with) and she's been good to me for months...

I went through hell with my Forge MBC.
Then I realized I had it hooked up backwards! No problems since then and the performance has been flawless.
I doubt this applies to the situation but I bought two of them before I realized what was up... sounds stupid I know but I was quick to get pissed @ Forge products followed by feeling like a dumbass.

Wow, i am suprised to read a thread like this. i have never read a thread of someone complaining of the forge mbc. however, i have seen many threads of hallman owners complaining of high boost spikes with that boost controller.
I always recommend the forge mbc for my friends and customers.

I had so many problems with my Forge mbc. I was sick of having to watch the boost gauge more than the road to check for spikes. This is also after cleaning the unit several times, and receiving a new "greased" ball and stiff spring from Forge. Finally, the nob got stuck and I couldn't adjust boost. Forge wouldn't replace it without the receipt, so I was sol. Got my Hallman a year ago, and I love it. No more worries about spiking, cleaning, etc. Hallman FTMFW!

Since i've joined about a year and a half ago there have been issues and i was suckered into thinking it was user error. I do the fact i can choose the exact settings based on clicks....
But i think you guys should pick up a hallman, like the Sean Ivey said earlier $95 shipped and see IF theres a way to improve on that. If not, make those click and you're set =-)
Cheers!

This is rediculous.
We have sold thousands of units with no problems whatsoever.
All of which none of you will ever know about because it's never posted about on the forums.
A very limited number of units, less than 1%, have had minor issues that just happen to be posted about on the forums, and immediately our products suck altogether, huh?
Every single unit that has ever had a problem has been repaired or replaced completely free of charge under our unlimited lifetime warranty, and we have never had any issues with them since.
Obviously, this person slipped through the cracks and for that, I am deeply sorry, however, we will absolutely do whatever is necessary to ensure that every single customer is 100% happy, just as will happen in this instance.
If you give up on us before giving us a chance to make it right, however, it's not for lack of effort on our part.
We're small company, and we greatly value our customers, so we monitor the forums and these types of things as much as possible. We can't afford to ignore our base like the other larger companies whom you NEVER see on the forums.
We're quite friendly too, so all you have to do is give us a call.
