Just got my Buschur Mail-In back on my stock Evo X. Amazing results - I'd recommend going for it if there's not a tuner nearby.

With ECUtek, you can control boost and hold it better then the MBC.

x2... Or at least as good as. Plus, you don't have to worry about partial throttle overboost, and if you get a CEL, the limp mode will actually function to protect the car by reducing boost in the interim.

MBCs suck on Xs, especially with EcuTeK as you don't need them.
