Default suggest a in-cabin mbc?

If you were buying a Manual Boost Controller for your car would you rather have a in-cabin or the one that bolts up in the engine bay? Thanks in advance for any replies!

hks vbc or a hallman for in cabin if you go with that.... its never been a big deal for me to pop the hood to adjust the boost, ive always set it at a point where i wouldnt need to adjust it anymore.

yea, it looks like this is remote adjustable http://www.boostcontroller.com./inde...26category%3D5, i personally like the ebc for cockpit adjustment since you push a button and get the right amount of boost everytime

If you want in cabin, go with an electronic boost controller. A friend just installed the new HKS one, it was so simple, pushed the knob in, rotated to desired boost, pushed the knob again.

I had the Profec b spec II and ditched it for a MBC. It all depends on your budget and/or how lazy you are.

who needs boost controll? just pull the line off the waste gate and run all the boost you can cause that the cool thing to do ...

but seriously put it in the engine bay.... dont be lazy, plus once its set to the correct amount of boost you should not need to adjust it anymore.
