DO you guys think that a electronic boost controller is better than a manual? Ive turned down the idea of a manual controller because people have made it seem unreliable. I really would like to have the option of running two different PSI levels so it would be nice to be able to adjust the boost in cabin

I was running a manual boost controller, and when it was set to 11.5 PSI, the most it jumped to was low 12's. When i had it set to 12psi, it jumped to 13 a couple times. If you're going to run an electronic boost controller, plan on getting a dual solenoid setup.

I completely disagree. A spike is normal in most BC setups. The normality is 1-2 PSI over what you have it set to. In my case, set to 12lbs of boost, and on the initial hit, it would hit 13 and fall back down to 12.
Creep on the other hand will exceed that 1-2 PSI over what your boost was set to. I would not rather have creeping issues well over the PSI threshold vs a minimal 1-2 PSI over that last all of a fraction of a second.

Lol alright, It would be nice to have some crazy advanced electronic boost controller where I can boost by gears and all that fun stuff but I think I may just be a MBC and take the money saved and put it to a high quality clutch/flywheel
