NXS MBC, Anyone have any experience with these? Options

[TClifton91]

So the MBC that was on my car when I purchased it was cheap $15 eBay model...as expected it crapped out on my.
I want to get one that is reliable with out breaking the bank. I've been looking at the NXS signature series MBC. So I'd like to know if any of you guys have used one of these?

So any review's/experiences would be greatly appreciated



Thanks again.

So either nobody has used one of these... Or they really suck lol


Any recommendations on a good manual boost controller for under $75 ?

Pretty much anything will work. Its just a ball and a spring inside doing all of the work.

These have been pretty popular with the 3sgte mr2 guys...

You could get something even cheaper like this unit, but you don't get the high quality pressure hose and vac caps like you do with the twosrus one.

Hallman boost controllers have also been extremely popular, and you can upgrade them to have a cockpit cable so that you can make adjustments while driving.

Thanks for the good info . I like the Hallman one but from reading it seems you can only raise boost to about 5 psi max. I'm looking for a little more than that. Probably go with something similar to the Mr2 one.
Thanks again.

The hallman one comes with two springs. One soft for small adjustments of 5psi and one firm for normal adjustments.

I did some more looking around (thinking about getting an mbc for myself) and I would probably go with this one.

The ceramic ball helps with better boost control.

I deffinately like the idea of the ceramic ball for better boost response. Just saw that some of the NXS brand models have the ceramic ball also, so will probably just go with one of those since I was already looking into it.

Do you know how most people go about mounting them 'in cabin'? What's the best place to run the tubing through?

You don't want to mount a normal mbc in the cabin because the length of your tubing would impact your spool.

The Hallman have a cockpit cable addon that uses a throttle cable to remotely turn the mbc thats mounted in the engine bay.

Ok that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
