DIY Boost Controllers
Me too, so newbies would stop asking the same question over and over.
Other forums have it, and it makes things alot easier, clearier, and quicker to simple FAQ repairs/modifications.

That is the most inexpensive boost controller I've ever seen. Basic principle behind it is good, too. Find the right spring for it and it should work fine.
Here's plans for one like you'll see on Ebay. More complicated, more expensive. If you add a 5/16 ball bearing (depending on how big you tap the screw fitting out to, mine was 5/16") to the other side, it makes it overboost-resistant- if the screw falls out, it goes to minimum boost.

That's the MBC I made. Oh, and the writing came off quickly- this was one of the first things I did to my car, remember, and at the time I was worried I'd hook it up wrong.
I just used a different T fitting than he did, which is why it looks different. This boost controller still lives on in my buddy's Z31 turbo after spending time in a MKIV TT Supra, an SR20 240, and my car
. Still need to toss that 5/16 ball bearing in to make it overboost resistant...

I think im gona go with that MBC method that Jordan posted. It looks more "professional."
Definitly, the 1st method is the cheapest that one can make, it doesnt get any easier than that. But as far as looks, i would have to go with the MBC.
Jordan, you get a cookie too for your post.
