http://www.boostcontroller.com/ get the joe P or the Hallman EX kit, both are 45 dollars or so...

But personally, i think you should mimic what i said in the other forum.... Just be patient, and save for the right parts.. AKA Profec B and a proper IC.. In the long run it'd be a lot more reliable....

Manual boost controllers also tend to spike way high on partial throttle, on my Z31 with it set at 12 at WOT, i was getting spikes to 14-15 at like 80% throttle i used for normal street driving / passing.......

 

My throw out bearings goin, an no LSD. But I get both wheels spinnin off of launchs, only time i get one wheel is when im turning. Let me know when you guys plan on goin to the track again Id love to see those 240's.

 

Manual boost controllers get the job done, however they spike occasionally like slash said. I would also save the money and purchase a profec B.

If you want to use a MBC, I would not recommend buying one for $40+. My friend made one out of plumbing parts (total cost came up to $7) and it worked well. It never spiked on his mr2 and he always ran 15 psi. I made one for the supra and it ran about 16 psi (completely open) and occasionally spiked to 17-18 psi (I really wanted to run 18 constantly). If you are interested in this MBC, I can find the parts for you or I can ask my friend to borrow his since he sold his mr2.

errrrrr MBC is getting a little on my worried side i think ill just save up for profec...

 

Ive also heard horror stories about these "home depot" valves........ I would never trust a valve that wasnt made by a professional... The Hallman is still used on Buschurr's GSX that is running 8's.........

 

Don't buy that mbc from that link. I have one of those, it came with my car. The one I have has worn out and is unusuable, it works off of a soft seat/orifice seal and apparently it can wear out. I've been running a homemade ball and spring mbc that looks a lot like some of the 40-50 dollar mbc's, and hearing reports from people who own those, it works about as well as they do. At 13 psi I was seeing about 1-2 psi spike, at 16 psi I'm seeing about a 1 psi spike. Close enough for me, I'm not a perfectionist. 10 bucks in parts and 10 in tools, now I could make several for less than ten because a few of the parts had to be bought more than one at a time.

 

I also agree with this also, but when i had a Hallman i really liked it..
