Default sears boost controller

Any one use the boost controller from sears. Its actually an air pressure regulator used for compressors. A couple people in my area use them. One of the said its the same exact thing as his hks mbc.

My quesiton is does anyone have experiance with one????? I have one installed on my car and its very hard to change the level of boost. It has a very small range of adjustment. The tiniest twist on the **** can change the boost levels from 6psi wastegate spring to 18psi. Anyone have any idea if this is how they all work or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks.

My guess is that it doesn't have find enough adjustment for what you are using it for. A pres reg used for 0-150psi is gonna be a pain to adjust for 7-10psi. Why not get a decent mbc that is made for turbo stuff?? Or check into making one yourself if cost is a big concern.
