Get the HPBC instead so you can also tune for bleed

It changes boost onset, which means you can make the boost come on smoothly or in a wallop; its a step beyond just setting boost

That forge one sucks. The UNOS which is more expensive is their good mbc. The bleed constantly bleeds (duh) off pressure making it a smoother transition to boost unlike a ball and spring which holds the pressure from the wastegate until it reaches set pressure making the turbo spool up faster. Great for larger turbos, not stock ones.

Turboxs does have a basic mbc which is just the bleed, it will only however raise psi to 18-19psi however. You can find a used hpbc in the classifieds here and on other forums for cheap if you look

just bought the hpbc for 75 shipped, what is the best way to go about tuning this, the boost is straight forward, but bleed doesnt seem to be. Should i first set boost, then set bleed? Also what will give me best performance for the bleed?

They both adjust psi. Set it up like the directions say. If you dont get the instructions, its on their website (www.turboxs.com). I have mine set with the b&s to about 3-4psi below where i want it and then raise the psi the rest of the way with the bleed.

To install, just pull the 2 lines off the n75 and install them on the mbc
