Has anyone tried this? i did and had NO success, i want to make a cheap boost controller for now until the winter, im re-doing my whole engine this winter and i just want alittle more boost for this summer. i know its cheap but it was an interesting project. let me know what you got as results. i have the mods for it by the way such as the IC, pipes, exhaust and pwrFC ect. ect.

in all honesty . I would not trust an hds ( home depot special) boost controller.

some have had sucess.. Others not to much.

My buddy made one . It held 10psi for 2 runs . Then spiked 20psi and there went his motor.

I had one on my talon. Held 15psi great on a smaller turbo. As soon as I strapped a big boy on there It was spiking 34psi. Not reliable at all.

If you want a manual . Go with a quality unit. They're cheap enough as is.

 

yea i was running the car and it was only giving me 9psi than my usal 10, and then spiked at 15 psi ( which by the way was really nice ) but thank god my engine didnt go on me, thanks for the advice, what boost controller are u running?

 

i am unfortunatly using this exact setup right now mind you on stock boost w/ cat still installed. i peak at about 11 psi and then drop back to 10. its working for stock boost but if you want more than stock boost go with something a little more trusted. i am also running a pfc non-sequential and i have the valve bleeding to atmosphere. the only reason im using this one is its not a "MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER" like you see on ebay and the like. It is a screw type valve once set no moving parts like others that have a ball and spring that can get stuck open giving you the outrageous boost spikes. it works for me on STOCK boost till next year when i go single, v-mount. iv already put enough into it this year buying the car swapping the engine all new wiring harnesses, misc other small things. oops iv started to take over the thread

i can get some pics if ya want

 

I was using a greddy ebc on my fd... Thats also what Im planning on using in my new fd. Its nice to set it and forget it . In a way.

For a manual bc I used a turbo xs. worked great for me . Really solid boost.

Got it to spike and hold the amount I wanted at all times.

 

You can buy ball and spring boost controllers on eBay for $30 or so (though the brand name ones are closer to $100).

 

SURE i love seeing pics of peoples engines and their mods!! the more the merrier thanks
