Manual is crap...you'll have to keep popping the hood to get to the controll...electronic is awesome...push button operation from inside the cockpit!

How often do you really need to adjust your boost last moment?

Depends, a lot of people will run at say 8psi but will turn it up to 10 or 12 if they pull up along side a vetter at a light or something. I think it would be a nice feature to control from the dash if you can afford it

The TurboXS MBC is reliable and works well.

Adjusting the MBC with an allen is a lot better than a ****. You can accidentally knock a **** a few psi.. or a funny "friend" could be nice and turn the boost up to umpteen psi for you

I say TurboXS MBC all the way

What kind of extra lag would you see from a MBC mounted inside the car?

There are a few manuals on the market (not that I would recommend them). Hallman is a good mbc. JoeP is a good mbc. But, ingernal MBC's suck.
