Good reviews on the Accuboost MBC, comes with spike protection and acts as a boost enhancer as well: http://www.boostsciences.com/accuboost.html

So if you have stock (single port) wastegate, you would require a check-valve style manual controller. (Bleed valve is the other style, ala the manual controller sold by lindsey)
Of this type I have used the Lindsey Boost Enhancer and Reliaboost - reliaboost has a small bleed hole which is preferred as it reduces boost spiking. It blends into the engine bay a little better also, bit more stealthy / less bling bling than the LBE. Also can be adjusted without disconnecting the signal hose, unlike the LBE.
I was expecting the dual port wastegate / manual controller would hold boost to redline, but unfortunately not the case, still get a drop off from 15-12 with my k26-8.
Are people holding boost with a manual controller for other turbos such as T04Es?

Not to sound insulting, but if you're running a dual port WG setup, for best results, remove your CV and reliaboost setup and use the MBC (or regulator) to control both sides of the WG. One hose comes off the banjo bolt and tees off to the input port of the MBC and top port of WG. Side port of WG connects to outlet port of the MBC.
