Default Deltagate decision

Hey guy's I know alot of you have/are running the Delta gate and Tial wastegates. I'm currently using a Delta and have no problems with it spiking or anything. I'm looking to punch up the boost a bit more after this winter because I'm going to build this bitch to handle some more.
I've used MBC's on Delta's before, and they don't like it. thats when I start getting all sorts of spike issues etc. However, what about and Electronic boost controler? Has anyone had any success in using one of these along with a Delta? Or is my best bet to start searching for a Tial?

Already changed the spring to a 9-13 psi spring. I'm looking to throw 15psi or more at it after the build. I'm not sure if they even make those springs anymore. Pluss adjusting the boost at the wastegate like that has proved to be a PITA

From the research I've done no matter what type boost controller you use there's still probs with spiking but it's just a matter of how much. I've decided to pick up a SSAC wastegate, same as a Tial but at half the cost. People are going to say you get what you pay for but i know a few people that use them with no problems and they still look the same as the day they were installed.

Yeah, I've heard about them. The parts are interchangeable with Tial's.

I've heard MBC's don't work good, but EBC's do.

i was running a tial and a mbc(one of the cheap ones from ebay). had no problems with it at all. like if u where in a high gear at low speed and mashed it sometimes it would spike maybe 1-2 psi. but that would just be for a split second. good placement of the wg on the manifold, and a nice free flowing dumptube(least amount of bends as possible) also makes a diff.
