Default Joe P MBC or Hallman MBC?

I've searched these 2 MBC's and it seems as though a lot of people have had great expriences with both of them. I'm just having a bit of a hard time deciding between the two.

I am only looking for either the Joe P MBC line or the Hallman Pro RX.

Which Joe P MBC have people had the best exprience with? The regular XZ, inline, or the newest Pro Z? How do they stack up to the hallman pro RX ones?

Any suggestions would be great. My tial wastegate has a 11 psi spring installed, I would like to boost around 5-6 more PSI.

I am using the Joe P. XZ-S and I am very impressed with it. My Tial spring is 8.8psi and I have the controller set at 10psi and it holds steady all the way. Very easy to use and inexpensive. I chose the softer spring because I wasn't planning on pushing more than 7 psi over the spring setting. If the other Joe P. models are anything like this one I'd recommend them as well.

Good to know!

I was wondering if the ceramic ball that is used in the Hallman Pro RX has any REAL advantages over the normal SS ones used in Joe P or the lower Hallman models. Just curious if it's one of those marketing things to sell their products for more.

Do'nt know as I have'nt used anything else, but my ceramic ball prorx works splendidly. Holds rock solid @ 8psi right now with a jgs 40mm and a cut spring ~7psi.

Well just for future reference in case anyone looks for these 2 MBC's, it seems like Hallman Pro RX is also a big hit over with the DSM guys. They also like the Forge UNOS MBC's, but consensus is you can't go wrong with either of these.

Hallman pro rx it is. Thanks guys .
