Default boost controller. I'm needing one. step inside please

I've got my turbo kit going in a few weeks, I was needing some advice on a boost controller. The high-end digital ones are out of my price range. I was going to just pick up a TurboXS but I've heard people say they are crap because of spiking way up and settling really low.
So what do you guys recomend and where can I buy one?

just go make a cheap MBC at home depot. If you are not gonna spend the money one, why are you upping the boost?

Just wait till you can get a good MBC or get a cheap digital one.

I've also been searching around for a good boost controller . I recomend getting a turbosmart mbc controller . I believe the single starts out at like $70 and goes up to like $200 for a dual stage controller. Here's a link going on right now in the sponsor section. The feedback on these controllers are great and easy to operate. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1087262 ........

my TXS HPBC broke on me.

Lots of people swear by hallman.

Turbosmart seems good too.

Turbonetics here, simplee. . .Not using it on this setup, just running off the WG spring, but with my FMAX manifold and t3/to4b turbo it never spiked. . . .

Here, you can kinda see it here, in the bottom left corner near the drivers side headlight. . . It's just a black ****. . .

well thanks for the great list of ones to look up for future purchase. For now though a good friend of mine (even though he drives and STi) gave me his used Joe P MBC. I've heard good things about these, they are cheap and reliable. Since I got it for free then I think the cheap part is self explanitory. I think in the future though I'll probably go with a greddy profec digital unit, but not untill next year when I do the full build on my motor.
