That is a digital/electronic boost controller.

That example you gave me is one set boost pressure? A real mbc stores the program you want. Boostin when u want and at what psi you want in each gear and at certain rpms

Yes, it's a manual boost controller, and is real, only purely mechanical. You don't need a digital boost controller unless you have a big *** turbo that needs finely tuned, and even then it's not usually necessary. It's just a matter of preference and what works best. Tons of people us mechanical mbc's.
You are also looking in the wrong places. Any MBC will work. Ecode's prices are rediculous. Read the stickies. There should be a mbc topic and info. Or just search.

I only saw 2 connections so I'm guessin it goes straight from turbo housing through controller and to watstegate? Do you just plug the hole on the intake for the long tit on the n75?

You unplug the 2 hoses from the sides of the n75 and stick the mbc in place... Leaving the N75 still plugged into the big hose and electronicaly connected.
