Just got my Hallman Cabin model installed. I took it for a ride and it was at full boost. Well, good thing I didn't WOT I release the gas pedal right away when I saw my boost gauge showing over 25 lbs and flashing. Now it's at 16 lbs.

I have the Greddy and would have to say get something else. It's hard to set but once you dial it in correctly, it's mediocre. The low boost setting doesn't work for me and neither does the overboost function. When I set the damn thing to off or 1%gain, it still boosts to 14 psi instead of wastegate pressure. Overboost limiter still goes over what you set it at. I have it set at 24 but if it gets too cold or I free up backpressure it will still overboost to 26+.

If you can afford a MBC get the Greddy. Its a great unit. I had it for over 2 years on my 240sx with no problems. I want to get one for the Evo, but don't have the money.
