Default Electronic vs manual boost controllers? What should I go with.

Just wanted some opinions everyone uses for controlling there boost and how well they work. I was told that also using a electronic it will come up on boost faster. Not going for the bling factor just want to see if its worth spending $200+ on a electronic. Thanks Thomas

I'm running the manual controller right now but my friend is running the electronic and said that he is having better results with it over the manual one but his is on a mustang if that makes any difference. As soon as i acquire my next set of mods, I am getting the electronic one. So far he hasn't let me down on advice.

I have been tossing around the idea of running either a manual or electronic. And then it was brought to my attention that I already have a boost controller.. my foot lol. Im probably just gonna go with a big spring and keep my foot out of it whenever I can..... like that will happen lol
