Default Where to get an MBC?

I am looking for a place to buy an MBC for my car. Honestly I don't know much about them besides that you control how much boost you have and it makes your turbo spool sooner. What is the difference with getting an MBC and getting a N75h solenoid valve? Can you use them simultaneously to get even better results? Kind of a newb about it sorry!

Well James from InMotion told me I should get a MBC with my tuning becuase it stabilizes the boost as well as allowing you to fine tune it.

I would only get a manual boost controller if your boost keeps spiking or not holding consistently. An mbc will help level that out. Look on ebay you can get them for like $20.

Well with this tuning I am suppsed to be holding like 17 psi and the highest I have seen it spike is near 15 and it didnt even hold at 10. So IDK if a MBC will help or not.

How much are you going to be wanting for it Jeff? Btw, do you think that an MBC would be good in my situation?

the mbc will allow you to boost more up to 17. it will help hold but you will drop down because the ko3 will run out of breath no matter what mbc you have. they are 90 bucks used so ill see you mind for 50shiped. it used for 2k miles. that dosent matter though. i will send you both the soft and hard spring as well as all the mounting stuff

i think a mbc could help level the boost and not let it drop as much. bu ti just started looking into MBC's so i dont nkow that much yet.

my boost falls off also so im also looking at some.

the ones i like the most are from ecstuning.com they have them in a few colors like blue red black and siver. i just need to figure out how to install one and i might think harder about buying one. ecstuning also sells them for inside the car and inside the engine, so whatever you want i guess.

o and im gettin a n75h and i dont know if they will work well together but ill tell u how the n75h does on wednesday.
