..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi..
www.twosrus.com/ 50$ and works great, like i said in my pm.

and just to warn you...the difference in power when going from 10psi to 13 will be a nice surprise.

Or you can get the new Joe P boost controller for $35 (waiting period due to demand). Its an inline design and looks different from standard MBCs. Check it out at www.Joepmbc.com. I've used their standard XZ for several years w/o problem.

twosrus is ur best bet

I will return one day.
thnx for the replies guys...and sure enough i ordered my MBC from twosRus almost an hours ago after reading ur posts laugh.gif

oh btw i was reading on the install of these MBCs and i understand the TVSV has to be disabled...but i was jsut wondering would this disable the safe boost mode also, say from a knock or whatever...hopefully not im guessing kindasad.gif

yes, you do loose that "safe mode". at least the part of it that limits your boost in cold weather, or because of some cel codes. the knock sensor still does its job tho

I recomend not using a manual boost controller at all.....get an electronic one to be safe.
One of my buddies with a talon said that he prefers a manual boost controler, he said its more accurate in readings, because electronic one can say its reading right, but really its not. But thats just what he told me. Me myself will probably be running a manual boost controler.

Justification?

EBC is convenience factor, and MAYBE slightly more accurate if you have a dual solenoid. Besides that they're both as reliable.

turboxs mbc can be found really cheap and they are great =)
