MBC questions. Options

Alright Im new to the turbo scene and Im exploring the possibility of increasing my performance, and am currently on a tight budget. I was hoping to have sometihng for spring time, I was looking into a boost controller and obviously I cant spend 800CND on a EBC, so I was searching around the mr2 forums and they were talking about just using the ebay mbc's, they are only like 12 bucks which seems to good to be true but at the same time its not like a mbc is all that complex.

So anyone ever purchased something similar? And please spare me the "get what you pay for", Im more or less more concerned with safety rather then it working or not. Is there any advantage to buying a more expensive product other then it looking better?

With the MBC's, im thinking whats the purpose? Yeah u can control ur boost but you gotta get outta ur car, you gotta increase boost, check it by driving? And then do it all over again to u get it right.

This is what i was thinking: Your crusing on the high way and some big shot in a Honda thinks he's all that, now the 3sgte by itself is going to kick the crap outta him anyways, but what if its something more powerful or you want to just dessimate the honda WHILE driving. Are you going to stop, pop the hood, turn the boost up, and then do it, no you want something in cabin or preset.

EBC's are insanely expensive. I was so set on the Apex'i but after i looked at it, yeah it has RPM based boosting which is real nice, but alot of other things frankly, i dont really need.

So i've decided to go Dual Mechanical. TurboXS has a dual mechanical which has 2 presets. One you set for normal driving (stock if you want) and one thats increased. Im increasing mine to about 11 cuz 12 is boost cut so i dont wanna run the risk of cutting while driving. A switch is included and while driving with the flip of a switch you can go from 1 preset to the other. Its also good so you can launch from low boost with low traction loss and boost it up in 2nd gear and take off.

Thats just my 2 cents, i'm going either TurboXS dual mechanical or Dawes Devices dual mechanical (bout $50 less).
