I run a Hallman Evo Kit myself but I know a lot of the money i paid for it is for the brand name and "confidence" i have with this kit.... companies make a killing $$ off of boost controllers though

LOL

people fear what they dont understand.

that MBC is the EXACT same concept of any other high end MBC. Ball and spring, with an adjuster that changes pressure on the spring. which increases or decreases your desired boost setting.

Seriously, do you not understand the simple mechanics of the thing? If not, maybe you should stay away from modifications of ANY type, regardless of their price tag.

NO DOUBT! WORK BETTER THAN SOME 100 dollar Boost controllers. I had one on my 02 GTI and that joker was SOLID! VERY little spiking and great hold of boost for that lil *** turbo.

I also have this, when i went to get my car tuned Al called it a "$hitty boost controller"....then he saw my dyno charts and was impressed at the numbers he got with it.....guess its not so $hitty after all eh? Works great.

If anyone calls it ****tty...then they obviously are just so worried on brand names.... and you can't use the excuse of: "i buy brand names for the R&D The company has put in".

Well...here's your R&D... PPl have been using these for YEARS, and have many times commented and did product reviews from thier personal cars

There's no reason NOT to try this product if you already don't have a boost controlling solution...especially since the price is right.

it's pretty funny that the people on here praising this piece are all of the old talon/eclipse/laser group. I think myself and all of the others that have claimed to hear good things about this piece are all old school DSM guys. Maybe some of you newer people could get something by listening to some of us. Dont forget that the evo is very very similiar to a GSX from 15 years ago, especially when it comes to motor stuff.

C'mon, it IS sh***ty....even though it functions well, it still does not "look" like a Hallman Pro Piece. You have to admit the Hallman piece does look pretty. Now, on the other hand, if I spent $35 on the same thing I can make myself at Home Depot I would be upset too!

Case in point: 9 second F-Body Mustangs are FAST but they still are sh***ty cars...same thing (sorry to offend any Mustang owners).
