is a EBC really better than an MBC?
Do you think that a electronic boost control will work better than a manual boost control? I have been through 2 greddy profecs (one A and one B) and neither seem to work right.. If I hook up my wastegate directly, it runs 7 psi just like it should.. My car is a drag car, so I don't need to be able to adjust my boost all the time, and the EBC's make my engine compartment look all cluttered... Should I just go MBC and save the hassle, or does the EBC really make the boost respond better?
What do you guys and girls think?

If you only need a single stage controller, I would just use a mbc.. set it, tune it, and forget it.... no electronics to worry about.

They aren't perfect but I love the fact that you can set the over boost function so it will bring boost back to stock if you over boost, with a manual BC that could be the end of your engine....

if your gonna set it and forget it and never change it then go with a manual. I have a hallman manual for over two years, holds the boost completly solid and I never have to worry about it. Its hidden down by my clutch master cyl so you don't even see it.
