i dont think you quite understand, hes not asking IF he should pay more, hes asking WHY, whats the diff? whats the difference in the interals???

If the guy wants an in-cabin MBC, then get the Hallman Evolution RX kit. AND, the vacuum lines ARE NOT run into the cabin, only the control cable (72 inches long) that controls the MBC is lengthened into the car. It seems everyone was thinking the vacuum lines are run into the cabin, they are not, the vacuum lines (3 feet of hose) are still mounted as short as possible in the engine bay, and the control cable is run into the cabin controller.

well thanks for all the replies.....i ended up getting an under hood unit. $15 local used. supposedly its an NXS ebay one. works great i think. really easy to dial in and i've been playing with 14-18psi trying to see whats my best area.

i do notice a bit of sketchyness in the boost, but nothing major enough to get me worried. its expect cause its a MBC vs EBC.

my only issue is i really want something i can do IN CABIN. i know some of you guys will think its stupid but thats what i want to do. sooooo if i can do NXS and just extend the lines that would be what im looking for...suggestions on what to use.

I know you got an MBC already, but I just wanted to respond to this. You already have an in car boost controller. It's controlled by your right foot. If you want less boost, don't mash the throttle. MBCs that are adjustable in-cabin are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Also, I have an MBC that gives rock solid boost with no spikes or variation. What an EBC offers is a way to control boost with RPM, gear, throttle position, etc. Quality is (sometimes) why the more expensive controllers cost more.

i recommended the nxs controller, works good right.
