Which one do you recommend/like/use and why?

 

I use the Autronic stand alone in my car for boost control, I am able to hold rock solid boost all the way to the 8700RPM redline. ECU based FTW! As long as your tuner knows how to setup ECU based boost control I don't think there is anything better.

 

I personally like a manual boost controller. The Hallman to be exact.

It's easy to use and anyone can adjust it.

I'm using a Link Ecu (www.linkecu.com) and i'm using ECU boost control.
100% rock solid and flat boost curve.
It can also reduce your boost levels if your water and/or oil temp is too high for extra safety.

win win win

 

+1 on the hallman. Very easy to adjust.

 

aem trueboost here. Used on stock ecu, stock ecu sd, aem ems now. Holds boost perfect for me. On all logs boost held the the whole way to redline.

 

manual for me. spools faster than any electric controller.

 

I wouldn't agree with this statement as I have found the opposite to be true. I used two manual controllers before I switched to an electronic one.

 

That makes no sense to me ... As long as the WG is not getting any boost pressure the spool should be the same for ECU vs MBC controlled boost....Where ECU boost should be better is if you want to control your torque spike, but still hold power up in the higher rpms (e.g. my setup - stock block ).

Additionally, the ECU controlled boost, using Tephra v7, allows you to kill boost should your knock get above a certain level (you define the counts). This to me is the best reason for keeping the ECU controlled boost.

 

Yeah I'd either go ecu or TruBoost.

TruBoost holds boost great, has many settings and features, and lets you change your boost settings on the fly if you live in a state that is hot one day and cold the next. Has a few safety features, but nothing like ecu controlled.

When it comes down to it, get the TruBoost, Hallman, or Ecu controlled and you'll be fine.

 

use to run a hallman.
simple.
easy.
loved it.
then switched to a grimmspeed and love it even more!
hold boost all the way to redline and it is more constant. spools a little faster as well.

ECU boost control is much better, specially if you do dual maps.

 

i agree

 

let me add my 0.02 op, ive ran greddy profec b spec 2 ebc, was good a little hard to dial it in, but worked good till it failed on the dyno, swapped to dejon tool mbc which works well but youll get some boost taper in the top end, and when i go back for a retune with map rev 2 intake mani tb, and some kelford cams, swappin out that mbc for a gruppe s 3port so i can hold more boost to redline, personally, get a 3port itll do the best, it can be integrated to work with the stock ecu, and no one can mess with it while the hoods popped haha

 

Buschur dual-stage manual boost controller FTW!

 

Another benefit I have seen from ecu/electronic boost control is the ability to control boost and control tire spin. I know we're awd but tire spin still happens.

I'm hoping buschur chimes in here as well. He seems very against ecu or electronic boost control and I would like to here his insights.
