in had a Forge... defenietly not up to the task.
Hallmann is way better. I don't know about the Buschur.
A'pexi or HKS, EBC. are good too.

I personally have a Forge and upon initial installation it would stick. Had to open it up and apply a little synthetic grease and has operated flawlessly since. If I had to do it over again I'd try the AEM Truboost. So if you don't already have a boost gauge I'd definitely look into that. They run around $250, so you if add the price of a good gauge and any of listed MBC it should be close.

Under a budget and in it for looks...Hallman. I have the $50 AMS MBC and it works awesome.

If you got the cash, get a electronic boost controller.

i voted for EBC. i've got an HKS and it holds boost like a champ. plus it's easy to use, just to knobs (setting A and B). done.

I've got a forge and it holds strong right at 18lbs for a practically stock car (ie no boost creep with stock exhaust).

I voted for Forge because I had one and it worked very well. But I am changing my current EBC set up and I will be getting Buschur's new inline MBC. They seem to like it (I always thought they were very honest with their parts), so I will see how my car likes it.
