Dawes Device vs Home depot?

Is there any advantage to the Dawes device over simply two bleeder valves, Home Depot style?

Well, they give a good explanation on the official Dawes site, but who knows how much of that is real compared to how much is BS to get you to buy it.......

I have had both. Honestly I would go with home depot. It cost me $8 for the home depot valve and hose and it works just as good as the Dawes in my opinion. And it's cheaper.

I've installed home depot type a month or so ago for wastegate and precontrol and i'm still trying to get it adjusted right. It is definitely an art, not a science.

A bleeder valve is a bleeder valve. It does take a little while to get them set up properly, though.

Hey Guys...

I know these Valves are quite affordable... but has anyone here tried the TURBOXS boost controllers...?

They have a standard and a High performance model?
