Remote MBC anyone

Has anyone tried or have any insight into using a remote MBC? I would like for the control to be in the car so when I'm just normally driving I can keep it turned down but can turn it up if I "need" to. I just put a td05-16g and a wrx tmic in and I'm trying to stay out of trouble and not waste all my money on gas. Any ideas or input are welcome. And please tell me if I missed something in my searching.

The hallman pro mbc has a kit that makes it adjustable from the cabin... Like 75-100$

Just use a light throttle. Just because full boost is available doesn't mean you have to use it. That will save just as much gas.

If you are dead set on this, you don't want a knob chilling in your cabin somewhere that when you do need the power, you have to know exactly, down to the 16th of a turn, how far you can turn the knob. You would want an electronic boost controller.

But really, that's what your right foot's job is.

Ok make sense. I may have jumped the gun a little with thinking about this. The more I drive it, given I only turned up the boost yesterday, it doesn't seem like I will need it as much as I thought I would and it is nice to have the power in those hairy situations when you need it.

Coming in a little late on this, havent been here in a while.
I have a Hallman MBC and have it mounted to the side of my center console (my 89 RX).
Before I installed my FCD I was able to dial it in pretty good for 8lb and then full boost, which was about 12lb with my setup. Since the FCD install its usually at full boost - 15lbs. Its just to much damn fun!
And no, I'm not worried about blowing the engine up. I have a walbro FP and TMIC, etc.
Once in a while when I'm trying to conserve fuel I'll turn it down, but its rare.
