Turbonetics or Hallman MBC / Manual Boost Controller ??
I can get either one, but I was wondering which one would be better for my setup or which one works better?
My stock WG spring is 5.83 PSI (Tial 38mm - Red Spring) and I would like to up the boost to around 7 or 8 PSI (depends on the tuner)...

Hallman Pro RX is a pretty good one, especially when you are looking to do up the boost less than 6 psi. The RX comes a ceramic ball bearing for quicker response and with the soft spring, which allows up to around 5-6 psi over the wastegate spring. Also, included is the hard spring which allows ~30+ psi over the spring...

The turbonetics mbc I had was garbage.It needed to be hooked up a certain complicated way using both wastegate ports to even work right.
I have a hallman pro and it works perfectly so far and holds a rock solid 18 pounds

I have used the hallmans & liked them. The turbonetics stuff works too.</TD></TR></TABLE>
I was thinking about your idea - just getting a little bigger WG spring but then I read on numerous posts on here that would a good boost controller you can increase your boost even if its just a little and avoid boost creep as well...
So do these (reputuable) boost controllers really prevent boost creep as well??

I want to get the Hallman ES but does the Hallman handle low boost increase pretty well? Say if I was at 6 PSI and wanted to go to 8 PSI using that would it work well?

I have the hallman pro and it handled low boost well. I went from 6 to 8 and now 12 and it was easy to dial in
