Default Which MBC to Buy?

So after having a few boost issues that drive me nuts I've decided to get a mbc. Now the decision is which one? I've seen that many people like the TurboXS HPBC but that price is more than I'm really wanting to spend for a gamble. I've also seen the Voodoo and have prefered its price but have heard bad things about their customer service. So which mbc should I get?

I would really like to order this tomorrow afternoon so it can get shipped and be here early next week if possible.

Thanks!

why are you calling the TurboXS HPBC a gamble? AFAIK they are proven to be 100% reliable and i know about 8 ppl running them. i will be getting one soon. if i didnt just get railed 950.00 for home heating oil, i would have one.

Its not that I'm calling the turboxs itself a gamble, I'm just saying dropping $100 for something that I personally am not sure will fix my spiking issue doesn't make me feel right. I know cincy runs it and loves it and have heard good things about it. I'm just wondering if there are some other high quality recommendations that don't cost as much.

I do and and its great. The spiking issue can only be solved with a bleed valve which the hpbc has. If you want to do it cheaper, you can get a turbonetics variable boost controller. They are like $45 shipped on ebay and are a bleed/gated valve. W/e you do, dont get a ball&spring mbc. That will just make it worse

Well I think I'm going with the TurboXS. I read a bunch of really good things about it on several forums. Should be here mid next week. Thanks for the input.

buschur racing also just came out with an inline mbc that has gotten great reviews on evos and should work for audis just as well

It is nice, BUT... its used on turbos far bigger than a ko3.
