1 1/8th inch ID brass pipe T fitting
2 1/8th inch OD Brass pipe hose barbs
1 1/8th inch hex head bolt (make sure it and the barbs will screw into the brass T...)
1 1/8th nut that fits onto the hex bolt
1 ball bearing (should fit nicely into the T fitting)
1 push spring (fairly light pressure rating...)

look at the pictures on ebay

make SURE that you get the same T fitting style that the MBCs on ebay have. ive tried 4-5 brass T fittings, the only one that works is the one that they use. if you cant figure it out from looking at the pictures on ebay... well you should probably just give up and buy one of thoes. turn the nut in for more pressure, out for less... it installs with manifold pressure source into the barb that the bolt points too, and the wastegate actuator is out of the other end

NOTE: lowes sells the correct T fitting as part number : 34785 1/8" BRASS PIPE T for $1.69

Im not sure if all lowes carry the right T, its IMPERATIVE that you get the same one they have on ebay home made MBCs....

Make sure that the ball bearing you get is stainless steel. Otherwise, it could start to rust and stick which could turn ugly.

Make sure you don't buy the cheap ones. I purchased one a few months back and it broke within a month! The screw inside just broke because of the heat.

Good luck on making it.
