Boost Controllers and such...
So I'm very new to this stuff, and in the past I have simply just picked up a MBC and been done with it. However, this time I want to see if I can't learn something and maybe even make a thread others can learn from too.
I've been looking around trying to figure out what type of Boost Controller I want to get. As far as I know the options are...
Manual Boost Controller (MBC)
Electronic Boost Controller (EBC)
X Port Port Boost Controller (PBC)
Now if I'm not mistaken the MBC is fairly straight forward it just uses different spring rates to control the boost taper and you set it and forget it.
However on the flip side of that coin the EBC allows a greater degree of control over tuning aspects, and are adjustable according to different things like gear & rpms. My friend sent me this link, which I thought was pretty slick. (http://splparts.com/doc/tech/EBC.htm)
Lastly, if I'm not mistaken, which I probably am, there's are 2, & 3 Port Boost Controllers on the market and they each give varying levels of control. The concept behind the PBC is to allow the computer to manage different aspects of the boost according to Air Fuel ratios, Gears, RPMs, and other tuning aspects allowing a tuner to really tweak the ECU for optimal performance.
With that said, I've just started trying to figure out what PBCs are available for my car, but I wanted to get this post up in case I've misunderstood certain aspects, or if there are other things I should consider when looking for a 3 port boost controller.
Aside from that synapses suggestions on 3 PBCs to look at would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think there's anything wrong with that personally.
The 2 port solenoid that comes stock and adding a boost pill will do wonders for you. Talk to your tuner and find out if he recommends also switching to a 3 port and see what he says, I'd be curious to know.
I am planning on getting an EBC and hopefully a couple stored maps. Gas mileage and all. But that's just a plan and we all know how often plans come together.
