it's a turbosmart knock off.

Not only that, but of all the boost controller problem threads recently, most have concerned that particular type of MBC. I believe it's designed to go in the BOV line, which we all know is one of the worst places to tap for an MBC.

You would be better off spending a little more money on a Hallman, Joe P, or TurboXS MBC, which DSM'ers have had much better luck with, are much easier to install the correct way, and are generally more reliable.

i have a hallman and it is very good. adjustable easily to the 1/2 lb of boost. The boost spikes a little on my car but not a big deal.
