Which MBC is best

Hi all,

I've searched, and can't seem to find consistent information. It appears that the quality of the manual boost controller matters, but I'm not sure which one to get. So let me know which MBC you are using, and how well it works.

Thanks

The AMS MBC is great. Lots of people I know have it and love it.

I am a fan of the Hallman myself. I have the new style in car adjustable one form them and I love it. Holds boots like no other. Well I guess since I only have bought Hallmans so I can only speak for them.

Althought I have had a lot of other DSM friends that have nothing but problems with the turbo XS ones. SO I would stay away from those.

I used the TXS HP and it works great. It has to adjustments so you can dile the boost in perfectly. A little more on the expensive side but worth it.

It is possible... but NOT RECOMMENDED . How will you know what PSI it is?

DO not do that.

I used a $50 twosrus MBC from my celica before I switched it for a Go Fast Bits MBC, both seemed to work well, I switched because the twosrus one looked kind of ghetto...

How do you like the GFB? Is it easy to adjust?

Thanks everyone for the responses.

I have the GFB, and it's really not that bad. Easy to adjust, excellent product for it's price. Now keep in mind, I've only had it installed for a week, so issues could still come up. But after doing a lot of research on manual boost controllers in general, I highly doubt it.
