MBC VS EBC

[Keachj06]

hey i hear people using manual boost controllers more than electrionic ones, why?i notice the difference in price but what are the other reasons and which do you guys prefer.

[srpowered240sx]

manuals are cheaper, thats usually the only reason.

The man's right. Only because they're cheaper. You can control and external wastegate with a spring and a doohikey or drop half a thousand on an electronic gizmo that uses vacuum to regulate the back pressure on the BOV and hold it closed/ allow it to open freely.

Not trying to sound old-fashioned here, I love gizmos. If I still had a boosted car, it'd be hard to keep me away from a boost controller. But when I was young, manual was all I could afford.

I dunno, an EBC seems kinda like bling to me, like a turbo timer is. MBC is way cheaper and just as reliable, and how often would you really adjust the boost anyway?
