ebay mbc vs legit mbc

I have been searching around and trying to see whats the major difference between those fancy 50 dollar hallman and joe p mbc vs the ebay 14 dollar ones. Any reason not to go for the ebay one?

The ebay halmans are the cheaper ones, I'd at least pay for the joe-p mbc because its has the locking nut.

Thats what I put on my car a week or two ago and it cured a boost spike. Personally when dealing with a system as important as the turbos and turbo control I'd stick with name brands since they aren't so much more expensive.

I meant the hallmans I saw on ebay last time I looked were the cheaper version of the hallmans, not cheaper than the joe-p. In my opinion the cheap hallmans don't look that much better than joe-p's and don't have the locking nut.
