homemade mbc:creeps when not warm?
My friend has a greddy kit on his z6 and he made a homemade mbc and if you let ur car warm up and go to boost it creeps to 12-13 when it's set at 10 lbs. If he boost up to 5 lbs or so a couple times, it seems to warm the boost controller up and then when he boosts, it holds at a steady 10. Could this be a poor design, a faulty spring or what? If anyone has suggestions, i'd appreciatte it

manual boost controllers are picky to air density. it may just be a case of good air bad air. or maybe the spring is sensitive to heat. i dont like the ball and spring, i use an orifice with a bleed valve and dont have any creep issues with it on my friends S15 swapped 240. i shelled out the loot for a Blitz DSBC for my car.

turboxs is ball and spring isn't it?and i've heard of people having problems with them. I think I'm just going to try a new spring or turn the boost down so if it does crreep 2-3 lbs ill still be okay until i can afford something better. ebc =$ which a college student doesn't have
