Ours will hold boost very similarly to the Hallman, though some will argue it holds better, but the biggest advantage is the racheting adjustment knob which allows each user to remember their target set points and adjust between them without any question as to how close they actually are to any given setting.
I agree Mike, the racheting adjustment is by far the best feature of the unit. Sorry for being so vague, but the unit is far superior in design and functionality. Again, the Hallman is a great unit and many people are extremely happy with them. The Unos in my opinion out shines it by a mile. It's cheaper to.

How much is this boost controller, and are there any plans to make one that comes into the cockpit?

MSRP of the unit is $89 plus shipping.

As of right now, we have no plans to offer a unit that will extend into the cabin. Hallman claims to have patented the design (though it may only be a visual patent), but we don't intend to "copy" anyone else's products.

If we do offer something else in the future, it will be unique and innovative in it's own right.

I Love my hallman! i just put it in so im sure forge is better, but the hallman is just as good. i dont really see how much better you can get on a MBC, especially if you just run @ one boost level.

it performs better because it leaks less and is easier to adjust. answer your question?

Ok, a few months ago, the Hallman was the number one recommended MBC in the market, now you are telling me that the Hallman compared to the Unos is a piece of crap?

I paid nearly $160 (shipped and taxed) for my Hallman with in cockpit adjustment and extra heavy duty spring.

What about the Greddy TVVC MBC, I thought that the TVVC was indeed the best MBC ever built up to today, knob detents with locking mechanism, fully aluminium construction, in cockpit adjustment and huge core. The reason why I did not get the Greddy TVVC is because it was in the EBC price territory(less than $100 from a Greddy Profec B.

I got to try one of those Unos MBC before I can make the decision of changing mine.

I guess that my next question would be, have anyone try a Greddy T V V C and had any complaints about it?, I swear that the Greddy has the detents that I haven't seen in absolutely any other MBC, you can actually dial the knob with the clicks. It is a piece of art. If you look it up on any website you wouldn't see the real size, the Greddy T V V C is huge.

Back to the subject, I might try one for the Evo 9 , if you guys say that it is a good product, then I believe it.

racheting is nice I'm sure. I hate adjusting my MBC for c16 and then trying to figure out where I had it for 94 octane.

i hear you
my hallman is great for the cockpit adjustability (not a word) , but when it comes to the actual adjustment = trial and error
