Default boost controller

What kind of boost controllers are you guys running on your FI systems?
looking to purchase one and i'm wondering what is the best brand for the money. I would like a multi stage boost controller. So many choices so little cash!!!!!!

I know a lot of people on there probably run an electric boost controller but my personal opinion is that a good manual BC is hard to beat. Reason being is they are almost idiot proof to install & use, unlike some EBC's that require an engineering degree to setup. With an MBC you just install two lines, or more if its multi-stage, set your boost and go. Very reliable, cheap and effective.

Default Thanks

I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE MANUAL ONES AND I HAVE TO SAY I AGREE IDIOT PROOF IS GOOD. I ALREADY HAVE THINGS IN MY CAR I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE NOW WITH THE NEW TURBO SYSTEM BOOST-A-PUMP, ALKY KIT, TURBO TIMER, ALL THE GAUGES SO I DON'T NEED ANYMORE COMPLICATED EQUIPMENT IN THE CAR TILL I GET USED TO EVERYTHING ELSE. AGAIN THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. JASON

The problem with the manuals is the spring actuation.
I do believe the stepper motors in the better ebc's react much faster to minimize boost spiking.
I do know the manuals work, but I prefer the ebc, using an hks evc4, may go to the hks evc6.

I have a Blitz unit that came with my used turbo kit.What I like is you can regulate your boost for what ever MPH which is real handy for the street if you have a traction problem.It also has a bunch of other features including playback.They are not cheap.Now if I could just figure out how the damn thing works.
