Everyone is using Zip Ties ... has anyone perminatally mounted the MBC somewhere ... the Hallman Pro is way to pretty and large to just zip tie somewhere.

Cheap MBC, cheap mounting solution :).

Ohh ... dont get me wrong .. that works perfect for that type of MBC ... but the hallman is huge in comparison and is powdercoated red.

What is the best MBC available now?

IMO and the opinion of many of the local tuners ... the Hallman Pro Ex and the Greddy are top of the line ... i know several that have the JoeP as well and love it. It all depends on your application. My Hallman is way overkill for our car ... but it looks beautiful under the hood.

How much was it, and do you have pics now?

Around 165.00 and here is a pic of it mounted ... not in a good spot though.

[Rawyzf]

How long of a vac line to you need for that? Like 2 feet?

In that configuration ... almost 5 1/2 foot ... which makes it not plausable. Thus the need for a good mounting location.

WOW, I think you can get a used JOE mbc for like 30...?

The JoeP ... from what i understand is a great working unit... it looks like it was put together by a 5th grader with a home depot card though. The Hallman is sturdy and all billet designed. Very nice dual design with creep reduction built in. The look of the thing sold me on it.

Here's a TurboXS DSBC mounted.

What kind of spikes do you guys get with the hallman and turboxs?

OK ... that is an awesome place ... how did you do it? Can i get a close up pic so i can check that out?

[BOOSTR]

I don't have any spikes. I have two turbo cars, both with DSBC's. No reliability or failure issues so far with over 91,380 miles combined on both cars. The MBC's put the boost right were I set them.

Yep ... both makes the DSBC and the Hallman have built in creep and spike control. That is a major difference over a cheap MBC

Well then your happy, that's cool. You have a very NICE looking MBC.

I went with the working mans MBC.

The Joe MBC is just as sturdy, and I don't think Joe has the intelligence (sp) of a 5th grader. The look of the Joe MBC didn't sell me, the fact that it slows air down did....thank you very much and I pocketed over 100 bucks.

Celdridge:

I'll take a close up pic when I get home and send it to you. The TXS came with a bracket. I just unbolted a grounding wire and bent the bracket and attached it.

Yeah ... like i said ... not knocking the JoeP ... i know a lot of people that use it ... but i show my car and looks are very very very important under the hood. Meaning (when im done) no ZIP ties or other parts that dont look show quality. The JoeP is an awesome unit ... just not for me.

DAWIV,

Can you link me to a page where I can look close at the TXS and maybe purchase one?

Sure: www.turboxs.com (http://www.turboxs.com)

Try Ptuning or Summit for the best price on it. Its about $239 or less.

239 for a mbc is too much just get a greddy profecb for 50 more

It's pricey, but it's one of the most respected BCs on the market and is a little easier to disguise for random trips to the dealer. I think if you're looking for a dual stage MBC the Boost Sciences Accuboost can be turned into one for about $150-$180... not sure though.
