The difference between a manual and an electronic is really dependent on what you are doing. Personally I prefer a EBC. More configurable, multiple setups without the need to go outside and change things, and you can eliminate all boost at a flick of a button. Great for Valet They are also more reliable, dont have issues with pressure changes, and offer more consistency in my experiences. However, the cost difference means you could buy, on average, 8 MBC before you covered the cost of a good EBC. So for 99% of the people out there, it doesnt make sense to by an EBC. Except that it has lights, and that always makes it worth it

my problem was with the MBC ,the weather always changes so my boost. i always had to readjust it . sometimes less sometimes more.. with the EBC this issue will go away. actually with the EBC you can set up different boost levels in each gear....

i had Hallmann pro and Forge MBC. i think the hallmann is better. now i have the A'pexi AVC-R.

EBC all the way.

More accurate, can change boost on the fly, you know where you are at all times.

Definitely worth the money.

It sounds like it costs more. What does the ECU boost typically run me if I were to go with it?
