Questions on this eBay MBC

Found these MBC's on eBay and was pondering getting one. Are these a simple yet effective take on the ball/spring setup? Anyone think they are worth $10 shipped?

I had that MBC before. It works good. hooks up just like any regular mbc. i ran 15 16 psi on that on my 1g.

You don't have to use those sizes either. I found it really easy using the next size down. The vacuum lines went right onto it. I also used a 1/4-20 bolt. Very common size.

yea those work fine. I was looking for that just a few months ago, but there were no auctions for them. so...

Another great ebay one is NXS.. see this thread

I'm using hte NXS one right now, works fine with my big16g setup, from wastegate boost to 24+ rock steady.

I really was contemplating making one, but really after the time i spend going to the store, finding the parts, fabricating, labor, etc. i just said hey ill just let someone else who makes these in bulk so the prices are low.. thus ebay.

take it apart and you'll see it is the same design as if you had made our own.

Your thread is what "inspired me", so to speak. But this car has sucked up all excess funds getting it to this point. So I had to go cheapy.
