Question Hallman MBC or Forge MBC
Ok, I did search, and I know that there has been discussion on this, but I have only read about issues with the Forge MBC and not the Hallman. Can anybody tell me which is really the best one to install on a mostly stock Evo IX with a desired maximum boost of 21psi?

I have been told by a local shop that the Forge is better becuse it "clicks" into its settings, but I have also read of the issues with the Forge MBC. PLEASE HELP. Thanks

I have the Forge, my friend has the Hallman. love mine, he loves his. the only real difference is the forge clicks like you said so you know where to set your controler for high and low boost settings. but at 21 psi...thats stock level so they both should preform prety much the same. The only issue w/ the forge is that the spring can come off its prech inside, but it takes 2 sec to fix it and personally its never happened to me and im running 31 psi on the Forge, with the high boost spring. my .02

Ughhhh....You have already answered your own question...Not to mention at 21psi, you should just stick with the OEM ECU/BCS setup.

Desired Maximum boost doesn't mean that it will never be set any higher doesn't it? Man I hate advice that's basically no advice at all...

Why would I stick with stock if I'm the stock boost tapers down at higher RPMs and I'm looking to not taper as much as stock? Isn't the reason to install an an MBC so that you can not have the boost taper as much?

desired maximum boost, yes it does mean that 21psi is the max he will be desiring to run, so no in his words he wont be boosting higher, plus the car is stock so you really dont wanna boost higher

boost will always taper unless you get a stronger wastegate

Just because the car is stock doesn't mean future upgrades aren't on the horizon...that's all I'm saying

But I'm going to get less taper and more overall boost with an MBC compared to stock, right?

So are you saying that I'm not going to see a difference in boost going from stock which peaks at 21psi to an MBC set at 21psi?
