Boost controller build
Well I've got all the parts I need to build my mbc, except 3. I need a 90 degree elbow that has a flat top, 1/2", and female threads. I also need the 1/4" I.D. Compression spring and the ball bearing. Lowes and Home Depot don't have the stuff, so does anyone know where I can grab one. Or, does anyone just have a mbc for sale? Either way would be great.

What is the 90 degree elbow for? This is the one I've always used....

Re: Boost controller build
which i find funny, because everytime i have sent a power steering hose over there to be made....they couldnt do it, and i had one made the same day, using fittings i get at NAPA... 
on a side note, i made several from 15 bucks worth of parts from home depot. that link chad gave is what i based mine on.
as for the ball bearing, if you cant find one, go to the "chick jewelry store" across from spencers in the mall....get a pack of their ball stud earrings. they work great! cut the stud a little stud off and use that as a locator in the spring (which a BIC pen works great for)

yes, the link chad posted is the same thing I based mine upon when I made one for kenny's 97 gs-t. Worked great... although... for $15 you can also save youself the labor and buy one online....

Re: Boost controller build
I'm getting frustrated. Not only do I not have the time go to to home depot and get the parts for it, people are giving 7 different designs to do it with. Anyone up to just making and installing one for me for $30? You'd be making a killing, im just tired of dealing with stuff and time. While you're at it, it would be great if someone could find a boost gague or at least figure out why the gague on my blitz turbo timer reads so weird and doesn't even work as a timer. Do all that stuff and I'll give anyone $100. No questions asked, as long as it boosts more, reads corectly, and times the turbo I'm happy. Any takers?
