I recommend looking at the Blitz SBC iD Spec-R or i-Color units. They work extremely well and are much easier to use.

Not sure what you are getting at here. The only difference from stock is the feeling you get when pressing the skinny pedal.

I just dont understand you guys paying nearly $1,000 for a electronic boost controller. Not only are the a pain in the *** to operate its such a waste of money.

Our MBC are designed with special scale plates on them to get spot on boost settings. for 2 of them its $110 shipped. They use Ceramic balls and are very light weight.

Save the money and spend the $800 on some pistons for your future beast

It works great. Only issue was that the out of the box settings sets our boost at 18psi... So dial it in or else go Kaaaabooom during your dynotune.

Electronic boost controllers allow the wastegate valve\door to be held closed most of the way up until you want the W\G to open. This allows for better boost response, more power and torque down low. Any pressure up against the WG will cause it to "crack" thus releasing some unwanted exhaust gas to be routed away from the turbine wheel. We've tested manual controllers and the electronic units always made more boost down in the lower RPM range. So the electronic units are well worth the money. MBCs are so 80s...

They are relatively expensive. The i-D Spec-R can be had for around $590 so you don't have to buy the $1000 i-Color.

I was putting install into the price. yea there probably pretty goo but it was a best bang for the buck ya know. 350 for hks just seems the right route for now. Anybody else feel differently? I appreciate you guys talking me through this.
