no problem, just be careful how high you set the boost once you fit it (& you might be better off not mentioning me when you phone him up :shifty: )

Hi,

Not sure what ones your looking at, but there are a few cheaper ones on EBay... various types, ranging from 16 quid up... :wink:

A top quality MBC doesn't have to be big bucks.

But then again I wouldn't just go for the cheapest as it is going to play a very important roll in your engines running.

I personally spent months reading up on all the various designs and finally decided on this.

From here http://www.boostsciences.com/home.html

I actually went for the ReliaBoost II as here http://www.boostsciences.com/reliaboost2.html

The main advantages or this product are the "Fast Acting Recovery Mechanism" along with the "Dynamic Custom Tuning" which is said to be more responsive and in such reduces the risk of spiking.


This controller has a faster acting recovery mechanism which translates into a completely flat boost control line and awesome response. Combined with dynamic custom tuning, this boost controller cannot be beaten.

The "Inline Design" also allows easy, neat installation and allows for a "Swivel Head" feature which allows the device to be adjusted without the need for any hose removal.


This controller has a Swivel Head feature that allows boost adjustment in seconds, without removal of hoses, clamps etc.

Here's a pic of mine installed.

I also took the option to replace all the vac lines at the same time as they were hard and perished.
