Best Boost Controller?
Negatives whith for example grimmspeed 3 port??
I have been running a Hallman Pro for a couple years without incident.
I originally installed a Grimmspeed EBC (ecu controlled) and the tuner (a well known, respected one) was having problems tuning with it.
He'd be doing fine for 5 pulls, then we'd have overboost.
Then two runs later it would be down on boost. We put a MBC in and it never had a problem.
Although a EBC can technically perform better, I like the simplicity of a MBC.

I haven't heard of any negatives. I'm sure someone else can chime in though.
Why run an Electronic BCS over a Manual Boost Controller?
A MBC allows you to run higher than stock boost levels by preventing the wastegate from opening at its rated pressure. It does a great job at this but if boost is available under the MBC setting it will give you that full boost. So for instance, you set your MBC to 18psi because from 3000-6000rpm that's what you want. But then say you get detonation with 18psi when you are at 7000rpm unless you are below 16psi. With a MBC, you do not have this control so you are forced to run 16psi through the entire rev range. With an electronic boost controller you could run 18psi from 3000-6000 and 16psi at 7000rpm because you can tune the boost map in the ECU which will allow you to run the maximum amount of boost at every given rpm. This gives you more power throughout the range and better control. Revolutionizing the EVO boost solenoid market, we have created model specific install brackets that allow you to directly fit our Boost Solenoid into your EVO for a factory fit. No more Zip-tying! We give you the factory fitment you have been waiting for.

Tuners like MBCs because they are simple and only require one setting. They don't like EBCs because they require more time to tune. Even if they do an EBC for you, they might not want to spend the time required to get every ounce out of the entire powerband.
You will get more out of your tune with an EBC.

No I wasnt, I was asking where my boost should be when my car is about 400hp, because this boost gauge doesnt adjust past 29 psi ( it says it on the link )

We use Hallman Pro MBC's in all the cars we build here including Ricer.
They can be found here.
