Recomendation For Manual Boost Controller?

[rico05]

I just want to go from my current 7psi to 10psi for now. Once I get my new injectors and SAFC, 14psi will happen, but for now I just want another 3 psi. Are the TurboSmart and TurboXS ones really worth the extra $? What should I look for? Here are some of the ones I am looking at on eBay:

be creative you can make the knob look however you want.

Um...thanks. But to be honest, I can't give a rats behind about how the knob looks. All I care about is if the thing does its job.

So abck to my question: Anyone know about MBCs? Which style is best?

I've only heard good things abotu Joe P, Hallamn, and then our sponsor intensepower is selling a MBC HKS......

all manuals do basically the same thing. Get whichever one you want. You could also use carb jets in the actuator hose or a compressor air control valve to do the same thing.

I like my old Trust VVC, that is basically the only thing I have ever used.

you decide

Well, the harbor freight units are not accurate at low PSI. I found out when I bought one of their Air Conditioning freon manifolds. A smaller unit is worth a few extra dollars just to make sure you dont blow anything from overboosting...

GFBs ( Go Fast Bits ) Atomic Manual Boost controller..

Know a guy with 400hp at the rears using one at 23 psi, and it holds so well

[themadscientist]

I know of many who blew their motors with top of the line boost controllers but no sense. I will caution that manual boost controllers do spike so I always set them on long steady pulls at least .05-.10 lower than I want. With the greddy unit I can feel the clicks in the knob and dial it down for the launch and after the 1-2 shift give it about two clicks up to a little bit higher boost.

[rico05]

Well, the idea was to get something cheap until I actually have a fuel system and turbo ready for more boost. The Joe P ones look nice, and the Hallman can come with a cockpit extension...but at more than $30 over the cost of the HKS VBC. Decesions, decesions...thanks for the input guys!!!
