A manual boost controller is a manual boost controller. None are more powerful than another. I prefer the Hallman for ease of use and awesome customer service.

That was my mindset as well when I bought 2 different style Ebay MBC's. Whatta waste of money on my part. Never again. Get something made by someone reputable.

Also make sure you get a ball/spring design, bleeder-valves are bad.

Mine has a bleeder hole under the screw knob and I was leak testing my setup and noticed that the hole leaks precious boost..
Does anyone know why they need a bleeder hole, because technically that is a nice boost leak.
I have a joe p.

Get a Hallman. I may have a extra if you haven't ordered one yet. You could also make your own if you want.
Peter- They sometimes drill a hole on the "outlet" or wastegate side of the mbc. That is a good thing. It releases the pressure when you get off the gas (whenever the bov goes off) and allows the wastegate flapper to close quicker. If there is not a bleed hole, it takes longer to close the wastegate as the gasses are holding it open. I have not noticed a difference in them though (hole vs. no hole mbc).

BTW, the hole will only leak if you are at/past your desired boost level. Meaning that it should leak in a boost leak test when you pass the level of boost you have the mbc set to.

It should not leak then as the hole sees no boost until the boost controller is opened. You could have your boost controler out too where the boost controller is doing nothing at all. Meaning it would leak at a normal rate. If you have the mbc set to 10 psi, it shouldn't leak. Do you get what I am trying to say? You are probly letting the wastegate actuator set the boost instead of the mbc.

We don't use any MBC other than the one from Elite. Gotta go with that works, is local, and is cost effective.
