I agree. I have seen several of these eBay ones fail within a month or two. I have the NXS one and it has performed very well for me.

I just bought this one because my old ball styled failed. Anyone have a diagram of how to install this?

I had a Turbosmart MBC seize on me. Now I have a Hallman and I know it will last forever. Personally, I would go for something more proven, but, that call is yours.

eBay. Send him a message first asking about the discount for dsmtuners members. Not too sure if he still does it.

To do that you would need some very long vacuum lines and that would creat some lag. I just mounted mine on my radiator with a piece of steel from Lowes. The only manual boost controller I've seen that you can mount inside the car without using longer vacuum lines is one of the hallman ones, but you'll be paying a pretty penny for one.

The problem is delayed WG signal, but close enough. The cockpit adjustables mount the BC under the hood and just a cable for the in cockpit twisting.

Sorry. Thanks for the correction. Lando, have you had any experience with the cockpit ones? I'm wondering if they're worth the money.

I ran a Hallman in the Talon and wouldn't recommend any other MBC. Over the years i had tried TXS, SlowboI, Extreme, and generic bleeders.
