Personally I would use the manual boost controller and gauge and sell the AEM for money to get a wideband.

I'm stuck under the same situation. But i looks like i might go with the MBC.
RRE has a nice MBC for $45

How are you stuck, it's a clear cut choice. Can't go wrong with a ball and spring.

mbc gets the job done, some people like to control it from inside the car or they have a street tune or track/fun tune. In your case I would say the mbc would be better

Re: need some help!! tru boost gauge vs manual boost and gau
MBC FTW. Yea its not as convenient as turning a dial and getting the exact-ish boost you may want from inside the car but for a DD theres no reason to spend more..... Unless you want to crazy and get a boost control solenoid, those things are awesome
