MBC. We don't do WGAs like SRT-4s or whatever else does those. The stock turbo will always taper boost at high rpm, so that's unavoidable, but with an MBC, the taper will be lessened. If you want more power up top, you need cams...

well if you plan on keeping the car why waste the hundred dollars on a manual controller when you can get a greddy profec and do things more safely and with much more controll you can keep the boost around 19 or 19.5 on the higher rpms i would suggest some more things for keeping your engine safe though

I completely disagree with this. IMO manual > electronic. Simplicity, cost, and MBC's are just as safe.

MBC all the way. Remember, with the actuator you are set for one setting, with the MBC you have endless aplications, from cold nights to hot days adjustments, from low altitude to high altitude adjustments, from race gas to pump gas adjustments.

The MBC is the way to go.
