Hallman is good, TXS is good and Turbosmart is good. All of them will work. Turbosmart does have the 2 stage system with flip switch. Very nice...

Are you using the new ones?? They are complete billet pieces....you would have to run over them with a truck to break them.

I think I paid 180 for my Hallman in car adjustable version. http://www.hallmanboostcontroller.com/applic.html
That is their page showing the different ones. I have the one with the ceramic ball to make it respond faster. Whether or not that made a big enough difference to pay 15 bux I dunno. But I love being able to adjust from in the car. GL man

There you have it and that is what I was going to get. It might be a bit cheaper on Freebay too!

Thanks everyone, I will probably buy a hallman. Why do you need the in car kit to mount it inside? Couldn't I just run the normal one inside with two line running to it?
