Default boost controller?

I need a new manual boost controller for an turbo integra. The one I have now is leaking bad. What's the best bang for the buck manual boost controller on the market right now? blox? agency? hks? xs?

This site seems to have good prices: http://thmotorsports.com/forced_indu...s/c-10066.aspx

phearable.net has a manual boost controller for 30 bucks. I have it on my car and it works perfect for looking like billy bob made it in his back yard. Hold boost steady to 21 psi.

It's a no brand unit that was hooked up by the previous owner. I can snap pics tomorrow if needed. I have a huge spike/stall between 6-7k and after I zip tied the MBC just to see if it were a boost leak, it held up fine up to 7k. I took it to a shop and he confirmed it was a boost leak as well (he noticed a very loud air leaking noise) as soon as I opened the hood with engine running.
