Where to get a cheapo MBC?
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.

Re: (lanojp1)
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?

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.

Re: (krazn)
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.
