[QUOTE="140dB, post: 2135984, member: 10996"] i just bought a small festo valve. its machined aluminium with a brass knob and locking nut to prevent changes. cost me rm75. looks more serious than most fancy purpose built manual boost controllers.....plus u can get it from any festo pneumatics dealer. coming from festo, u know, they know their pneumatics and flow control. i can now switch from 0.6bar to 0.8 bar or anywhere in between wif about 15 turns of a knob. talk about high resolution. it works just as well as my previous fishtank valve, but wif much more 'resolution'. i never had any problems wif my boost controller, nor do forsee any problems arising from such a simple setup. an electronic system wif valves and solenoids face a higher degree of problems simply due to to extra components, complexity of setup and wear n tear. a simple boost bleed however will never wear out. u dont need an electronic boost controller for fast boost spool up. no turbo will spool up faster than if the w/gate is completely shut. so make sure ur wgate actuator is in good shape b4 plunking ur bonus on a fancy boost controller, just to find out ur too broke to replace ur faulty wgate actuator.... the only time u need a good electronic boost controller is when u using an extra large turbo, extra large wgate, hi cams etc etc. then it all makes sense... good luck [/QUOTE]
