Default Electronic vs Manual Boost Controllers

besides the price, is there any other reason why i should go with electronic instead of manual or vice versa? i hear that the electronic will allow turbo to spool up faster but sometimes creeps or spikes. Can i lower boost with the controller if my wastegate is set at 9psi?

you can't lower the boost underneath what the wastegate is set to

Its all relative, electronic has the abiltiy of plug and play in the car while driving, manuals you have to "calibrate".... I believe the ball/spring manual controllers are better for spool time, whereas the bleeders aren't as good for that.... As far as boost spike nearly all will give you problems (ebc or mbc) once about 9psi.

i agree. i had a greddy profecb... sold it.. got a joe p manual boost controller... and i like it. seems to spool faster with the mbc on, instead of the ebc. for $50... you cant beat it.
