heres the situation: i have no money and really need a boost controlller.
my freinds say they can make me one for around $5. is this a good idea? my freind has one on his supra that is holding at 15psi, so it seems reliable. rob was tellin me about somebody building these too. are they a good alternative to lets say a "reasonably priced" turboXS manual one? what are some thoughts on this. thanks in advance. -------------------- 2001 Chevy Silverado ext. cab 4x4

Kris (akamiami) has made boost controlers in the past. The ones I've had from him have worked well. You can also pick up on from Buschur, Extreme, Mach V, and a host of other places for $50-100. Home made ones can work well, if you use the right spring. Too stiff or too soft, and it can be worse than the stock solinoid. Whatever you get, make sure it's the ball and spring type, and not the bleeder type.
As for the Turbo XS... I plan on replacing the one on the 95. I think (but not sure) that these are the bleeder type. Instructions are here for installation. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
