    Good Manual Boost controllers

    Looking to raise the boost a bit and I'm in the market for a ball/spring MBC. From what I've gathered people tend to like Turbo XS and Hallman but I was wondering if anyone can vouch for any others?

    Grimspeed.
    Holds steady, has indentations to know where you set it, clicks as you turn with resistance unlike some others where you just spin and guess.

      I have the regulator valve style like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Ma...fdadd8&vxp=mtr You can go to home depot and make one yourself for much less. Pretty simple and reliable for increasing boost up to 50%

        If i were to purchase a manual boost controller these days i would look no other than Hallman. The new pro line is fantastic; very accurate and easy to use.
        The product has been on the market for many years with great success and the pro line is a recent upgrade.

        Your reliable source for high quality silicone hose & fabrication parts.


        While i am sure there are cheaper mbc's on the market, consider what you are trusting with the life of your motor.

          Hallman is really good and all, but I just don't like that it has no resistance while turning nor any markings to know where you left it when testing or whatever.

              You don't trust over boost protection in mega squirt?
