MBC or EBC

First off I dont have a X but I noticed everyone who has a X goes with a MBC. I was wondering why is that. Can a EBC (Electronic Boost Cont.) be used?? Or is it better to use a mbc. I like using a EBC because it gives you the option of changing the boost from inside th car.

So if you guys dont mind please enlightened me.

They are generally less expensive by a fair margain and tend to be more reliable than electronic controllers. Personally I use a Dejon Dual boost controller and have a switch in the cabin that lets me choose low and high boost settings. Likely I'll have it set for 23 PSI and 20 PSI, the lower boost level being used for road racing or hot humid days. It's also nice to be able to switch it on the fly when that extra 10-15 hp can make a difference for a pass.

thanks for the response. im aware of the difference of mbc and ebc like you have mentioned the mbc is more simple and cheaper. I have a avcr i dont utilise all the features but i use the important settings and its great. So a ebc can be used with out setting off the ses??? Im basically wondering why majority of xs are going with mbc
