Default about boost controll

Hi, I'm Manuel and I have a 1.6L forged turbo engine currently running at 12 psi of boost.

I plan to increase it to 20-22 psi soon, and until now I haven't had a turbo boost controller installed.

I have an NXS manual boost controller, a 22 psi wastegate, and an EBC MAC (Motor Boost Controller).

I like to keep things simple, but I'm not sure how well a wastegate or an MBC would work because I don't see many people using them.

EBC MAC valve is by far the best choice, assuming you have an ECU that can control it properly. What ECU are you running?

I forgot to comment, the ecu is an ms3 mini, of course I could manage ebc without problem but I don't know if it worth the complexity and configuring time

That's why I thought I could opt for something simpler and put overboost protection

its well worth the complexity and time, even with just open loop control. And its not very complex.
