Ok I'm overseas right now and can't get on ebay, so I was wondering where I could find a cheap MBC for my project, so I can have it right when I get back. Any help would be cool. Thanks

 

Its cheap, untill it fails and you loose the motor.

I'd suggest a quality unit that won't let boost runaway if the adjustment screw happens to back out. I use a Joe P, but their are other quality units on the market. Joe P's are around $50 to your door.

cheap?

idk how cheap you are but you can get the turboXS for like 70-80, same with the turbosmart...

 

i have a MBC, i will sell your 15 bucks.

it homemade and shitty, but does work well.

holds boost at 20psi. used it on my audi for 3 months.

platinum

 

the thing is I can't see spending 70-80 on a "name" whereas there must be other companys out there that offer the same thing for less because they're all essentially the same thing (ball and spring), some claim to never fail but if you think about it the only way it could fail is if the screw backs out (rendering stock boost from my internal gate, it'll never get tighter (making more boost) so therefore I don't see them failing. SO what's the diff?

 

I have the turbo xs boost controller that im selling for 60 shipped obo

I couldnt spend 50 on the joe p mbc. I could go to homedepot and make that for like 10 bucks.

 

goto home depot and buy the air regulator for a compressor...looks just like the greddy mbc...cost only $20 and has a locking ****

 

My HKS boost controller is a compressor regulator. The first time I saw one i was like what the ****. Hks charges like 120 for a regulator.

i was gonna try that out, but didn't know the exact thing to look for. air regulator for a compressor....hmm...i will try that out. thanks

 

I decided that I'm going to make a dual stage MBC, I already figured out how to make it out of home depot stuff but all I need to find is a solnoid that can hold air pressure without leaking, so I can have a switch in the car for hi/low boost.

 

IF you're looking for cheaper $60 you can get a ball-spring and some fishing line and make one. But you're putting your motor at serious risk.

 

the mbc from bushur racing works well.....and it mounts right on the valve cover too

Thanks for the info guys, but I'm going to make my own dual stage MBC. I'll let you know how it comes out when I get home.
