never heard of them. if you want a good one try the Dejon tool MBC. it's either $50 or $60 iirc, you wont find a better one.

Forge makes BOV and diverter valves. I've heard of them so I'm sure their boost controllers are good quality. But, most MBC's will do the job w/o a problem. You could probably find one much cheaper.

ive seen cheap ones, im just wary of having an issue. ill be installing my gt30 on august 3rd and that turbo can make some good power. i dont want it to throw too much boost at my 2.4

Don't buy Forge products.

I know 2 guys with Mazdas that swear AGAINST them.

I have a forge boost controller. DJT had one on his turboed redline and another local member used it on his evo. Never had a problem.

forge is made for high end euro cars.... hence why you are getting mixed reviews. People dont know about them and because they are expensive people hate on them. they are by far the best you can buy
