Ill just end this thread right here because you are just going to get told to search. Which you still should as there are tons of BC threads.

What are your needs? There are MBC's and EBC's.

MBC's can be adjusted easier while you need to log into evoscan to change around EBC's such as a 3 port. You can tune an EBC to hold boost at higher RPM's while an MBC can possibly fall off on the top end.

I personally use a grimmspeed 3 port because I don't change boost much and its easier when switching from 91 to e85 tunes.

As stated before, search some more for further information.

That's how you control boost... By controlling wastegate pressure.

Grim speed as far as electric goes, and Hallman if we're talking about manual

i've run the hallman and the grimmspeed mbc and ebcs and now running both the grimmspeed mbc and ebcs simultaneously - i think the grimmspeed mbc is the best mbc. has measurements on it so u can track where u are at least in relatively position

What turbo re you running? If you're on stock turbo you're not going to hit much higher boost regardless of what controller you use

Cheapest option for you is getting the 75 PSIA sensor from AEM so it can see over 30 psi. Cheapest option for you. The TruBoost is a good controller.

grimmspeed bcs != EBC. There are 3 types of boost controllers; manual, electronic, and boost control solenoids (like the grimmspeed)

GFB boost controller.... good for big turbo performance cars, good price, good features, easy to use,ebc, etc.... You want a boost controller to work like a boost controller not like a ecu tuning program, this is the best! http://www.gfb.com.au/products?page=...category_id=99
