Manual Boost Controllers

[90mitsu3clipse]

I want to buy a boost controller but I dont know which one to get.. I really dont want to spend over $100 for it, but somewhere close would be fine. What else would you guys recomend getting along with a boost controller?

 

[90mitsu3clipse]

I was looking at the Joe P MBC Pro-Z

Hey man you can save yourself like 30 bucks and just go with the IL series. I have it and its SUPER easy to use and holds boost as good as anything out there. Its the one on the right. IL Series

i have the turbo xs dual stage boost controller that lets u switch to hi or low boost whith a switch that u would hav to install in the cockpit...i really like it and it's pretty easy to install..I got mine used from one of my buddies i don't think they're that expensive but i don't think they're cheaper than $100 bucks...and if u don't have a boost gauge yet i would recomend installing that first since the stock boost gauge is not accurate..good luck bro..

Honestly, most MBC's are very similar in how they work. Your best bet is a ball/spring type MBC rather than a bleeder type valve. I have a Slow Boy Racing MBC that I got for $50, and I've never had a problem with it.

If you are looking to get an MBC for really cheap, I suggest you just build your own. DIY MBC

You need an aftermarket boost gauge. The stock/factory boost gauge is NOT accurate and should not be relied upon.

Hey i can say that i've got 2 MBC! One is a VOO DOO off of EBAY and it worked Fine for me for about 7 months and then the other one i got is a TurboXS MBC. I was given the TURBOXS MBC from a friend. I Just got in my Greddy Profec B Electronic Boost Controller TODAY. So i'm syked up to go install it tonight when it gets alittle cooler outside. So yes the MBC off ebay will work fine. I Payed $25shipped for mine!!

Id recomend a Hallman PRO under 100.. I like them better Then a JoeP, hallman has better feature and easier to use and doesnt use a LockNut Feature. Its very realibale and never spikes, very safe and i use one on my GST and has never spiked or gone bad on me, i love it. Thing i like most its very safe.

If the asking price for a manual boost controler is more than $50-60 bucks.... forget it! Damn those 80-120 manual BC's... thats so BS! ....Its just a valve.

I just have a standard brass Manual BC. I think it was like $30. It dosent even have a name on it.... It works great.

JoeP IL , their cheep $45 shipped, very compact, hold boost great, don't need tools to adjust & stay in place once set. Plus Joe gives great customer service. You must have a proper aftermarket boost gauge to install a MBC.

As I mentioned before, I'd stay away from bleeder type valves. Ball/Spring type would be your best bet... SBR MBC

 

[VicBoost]

How about the ebay ones? Also how hard they to isntall, and where is a good guide on how too install these.

 

[NewTurboTuner]

I think mine is generic. I'm not sure where it came from. It's like the the one Slowboy makes.... Its not a bleeder type.

http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=1018&

Its very simple and effective.
You see that screw knob? ...It basically just screws in, and out... opening or closing the passage way. Allowing more or less air get to the Waste gate.

 

[pitbullowner_2]

hey i have had the voodoo mbc for 6months and it works awesome! $25 shipped...it has a locking nut on it so once you have the boost set it doesnt come undone unlike a higher end one that i used to have (buschar)

here you go:

that sucks there cheaper now!!!!

 

[NewTurboTuner]

Yeah I have the JoeP MBC, but mine is all brass.
http://www.importevolution.com/product_info.php?products_id=29
it's $40, and that's still too high for a brass valve if you ask me.

That one that Pitbullowner2 pointed us too is only $11, and I see others for $7.
If it's ball and spring type valve ....I'd say go for it!

And that's what I'm talking about!.......
You should NEVER have to pay more that $50 for a good MBC. It's just a stinkin valve!
These days I would not pay any more than $30 ...and that's for a quality valve

Just Stay Away from the Bleeder types valves.
....Make sure its a ball, and spring type

 

[TheRealist]

Still stand buy what i say Hallman Pro MBC

 

[pitbullowner_2]

yeah that vooddo is a ball and spring i took it apart just wanted to look at it. i tend to do that to everything. for the money that it costs now, its definitly worth it i had mine for 6 months and nothing wrong yet.

 

[skinnykenny84]

I got the voodo one off ebay too, it was like 12$!!!!!!!!!! works great

Great i'm going to get on of these $5!!!

 

[GreyturboKJR]

i got a turbo xs high performance boost controller off Mach V motor sports for $135 and it works great and looks good. it was also a breeze to install and easy to tune the boost ## running. make sure u get a boost guage so u can dial it in properly.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/High...3QQihZ009QQcategoryZ33742QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

what he said. I just won one of these on ebay and should have it next week. Anyone else tried one? does it hold boost? leak boost? spike boost?

Im installing a boost guage first but i plan on puting it in next weekend. any reason not to use this product? (besides it not being your MBC of chioce)

 

[sadsm]

Thanks for asking this question. Always wanted to know, but you know how most people put down a lot of the stuff from Ebay. Im off to buy a VooDoo boost controller also.
