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.

Hallman with the ceramic valve, you can even get the in cab kit for it too. Look on ebay, can't remember how much it is but its there.

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

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?
