Manual boost controller differences
I'm in the market for a boost controller right now, and don't really want to drop a wad on an electronic controller. I plan on getting a manual boost controller such as the Dawes device. There are several on the market right now and I was wondering if there are any differences in them other than the way they look. Is one better than another? What is the best one? What is the cheapest one? I have searched, but wanted a comparison type of thing. Who is currently running a manual boost controller (other than the Home Depot Valves)?
Thanks

http://www.mm-racing.com/mbc.htm This one looks like the Dawes boost controller but even cheaper. I'll probably buy one pretty soon. Are there any controllers to stay away from?

If I can get the same thing out of a less cosmetically attractive controller for 1/3 the price of the turbo XS then I don't see a reason to get the higher priced controller.

We all drive very nice cars... I do not see why you'd want to cheap out and get a plumbing device to control boost.
Get the Turbo XS unit. I would prefer the High performance one. Suppose to get boost faster than a
normal valve. And looks good too.
Let me know if you get one and how it is...

I just went to a Hallman manual boost controller, switched to that from an avcr on my non-sequential turbos. I like it a lot, it was easy to tune and works great. It was nice being able to change the boost whenever though, now I just leave it at 17psi, before I would usually just run 12 or 15.

Look at the latest issue of SCC (sport compact car). They have a write up about boost controls both manual and electronic. If you take a look at the boost control profiles, the Profec B is the clear choice (i.e. most accurate)

I read the SCC article too. I liked the very sharp response of the Blitz...there's no roll off as you approach your boost set point. If I was in the market for a boost controller, I'd probably either get the Blitz or the Profec-B.
The ball valve controllers do a nice job though (I used a Dawes for a while on my car)...they're just not as good as a good electronic controller though.
