Re: Manual Boost Controller

well it is the difference between a small and large amount of money. manual is fine if you just want one level of boost. toss in the spring you desire and go. if you want to adjust your boost levels all the time then ya a electronic one would be better. i see no need to be changing them so just manual would be my choice

You can still change your boost levels with a MBC.

Talking about different springs for a wastegate?



What I use. Screw the allen in for more boost, out for less.

Re: Manual Boost Controller

You need a boost gauge no matter what you do, you can't set an MBC as each car is different.
