Throw that Hallman away!!!

With all the talk about the Forge Unos MBC, I figured I'd give it a shot. Don't get me wrong, the Hallman is a great unit, was very happy with mine. The Unos however is far superior in every aspect. I had a slight boost leak with the Hallman (bolt needed tightening). No such problem with the Unos. Thanks to Al for sending my unit already installed with the heavy spring. I'll be adding the Forge wastegate actuator soon. Both units should compliment each other. Here are a few PICS. I installed mine a little different. I like it, easy access. I even went as far as painting the bracket to match. Enjoy. Forge

I went from a Buschur to Hallman to a Turboxs dual stage. Every one worked very well, I just wanted the two stage.

What makes the Forge better than the Hallman? Does it hold boost better or something? I realize you had a leak with yours but for others with no leak what is the advantage?Everyone I know who has the Hallman love there's.

Instead of throwing it away, please send the Hallman to me. TYIA.

Ours will hold boost very similarly to the Hallman, though some will argue it holds better, but the biggest advantage is the racheting adjustment knob which allows each user to remember their target set points and adjust between them without any question as to how close they actually are to any given setting.
