I did a search on this but didn't find anything really useful.
Right now i'm using a controller from www.boostvalve.com. It's been through the paces for a while, and is starting to leak and all that. I thought about getting another one like it, but i have the opportunity to get a TurboXS MBC for a pretty reasonable price, but i haven't heard a whole lot about it, as far as reliability, dependability... etc. What do you all think of the TurboXS model? Sometime in the near future i'm going to upgrade to a digital controller, but for right now i'm just looking for something to replace the leaky POS i have now.
Any input appreciated!

I just bought one this week. My Dawes Devices MBC was acting flaky. I got the HPBC model and it works better than the Dawes. It held the boost within 1 PSI of where I set it at the dyno today, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Devil dog? Original. And what is an M5 Camaro? I've never heard those two terms together before.
what about the two stage controller? does it do what its supposed to as well?

I've used both and have had no problem with either. If I was going to get the Dual Stage, I would just spend the extra money and get a Profec B. In my opinion the dual stage costs too much for an MBC.
what about the turbosmart 2 stage boost controller? its like 60 bucks cheaper. is it any good?

Devil Dog is a nickname given to US Marines by the Germans in WWI during the battle of Belleau Wood. I've been a Marine for 5 years. M5 means it's a 5 speed manual Transmission, which came in the V6 cars.

I agree... the two stage is a bit pricey for me as far as mechanical controllers go. The digital controller i'm looking at getting in the future is the Apexi AVC-R
what about the turbo smart one? any good?

Not sure of the Turbo Smart, but the AVC-R is a good controller also. It's much more sophisticated than the Profec B.
