so what is safe boost untuned? 21PSI? because im thinking baout getting the 2 stage one one for 18ish(stock setting) PSI and one for 21... how much more power would be gained? bumping 2-3 PSI and it holding better? 17 HP?

id be careful about messing with boost and not thinking about getting a tune yet.

i only get 19 stock so setting it for 21 is to much? should i just set it for 20 even though that is the same as stock? if i set it for stock then it will only help with taper right?

I've never used an MBC before... only EBC. Just set the target boost and the electronics do all the rest.

from what i know if you set the manual boost controller at 21 that would be your peak and once it tapers... it will still taper by the way... thats when it would hold around 19....

please do correct me if im wrong

Id go with the forge one, simply because it has a definate "click" with each adjustment, with each click being .5PSI

i ordered the $49 mbc from there 8days ago, how long does it take for shipping? and i can set the boost for 20 psi right? because now i only spike 18.5. so would 20 be safe with out a tune?

an MBC is an MBC, they should all "perform" the same.

Are you sure its 0.5psi per click? I estimated 0.725psi per full rotation (forgot how many clicks, but I think it's around 10). I have the UNOS and I think I'm using the light spring.
