Description of Universal Aluminum Manual Boost Controller: Efficient 30 PSI Closed-Loop Control Valve for Car Modification

Boost controller is a simple mechanical and pneumatic control to allow some pressure from the wastegate actuator to escape or bleed out to the atmosphere or back into the intake system. Compact size for easy placement in Engine bay, ball & spring closed loop design, lock nut to prevent changes to adjustment. The screw can be turned out to varying degrees to allow air to bleed out of the system, relieving pressure on the wastegate actuator, thus increasing boost levels, the boost controller can handle boost levels as high as 30 psi. Just install the boost controller in-line between a boost source and the wastegate to fine tune the amount of boost you want to run. The boost controller is universal and will work on any turbo application.

Great Deal: Engine Parts

Fantastic. Worked great; it is possible to adjust the PSI very precisely from 0 to 30psi and without increasing the boost! Recommend. Use it on the control side of my two port wastegate. Works great!

Pros
  • I like everything so far
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Not enough details in the setup. pass on

Go from full bypass to full open in about 1/32 turn. Too hard to call. Look for something different. Of course it was very cheap, but that can be done better.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Holds boost well on a budget

MBC is a very simple thing and it's nice when they're priced right (like this one). Holds up well and doesn't leak. FWIW, I took all the hardware off and put teflon tape around the threads just in case.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Clarity

Super cheap. Lying Sellers.

It looks like a $2 find, the metal is so thin it looks like plastic and the boost regulator doesn't meet the seller requirement of 30psi, it actually takes effort to get to 8 psi (based on the turbo that made me £26) I will be requesting a refund

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor issues

Excellent MBC, very easy to install

I've taken several inexpensive MBCs, this one was actually the cheapest - and I had low expectations, but this one lived up to it! Unfortunately, the other two didn't work properly. I put this on the car and got the boost where I wanted in about 2 minutes (which was admittedly a bit of a godsend regarding my initial setup). It's just a regular ball spring valve, which obviously doesn't mean anything. new, but why screw up something that works?

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Works well if your application supports it.

Works great but my app, Ecoboost f150, didn't like it. If you install it correctly, with a tee to both bypass valves, the ecu will see excess boost and still command the Bov to open, losing boost. If you bypass the bov electronics with 2 more tees they work but the ECU sees too much boost and goes into limp mode with an overboost code. The only real way to get more power is to get a tuner for it and preferably a special tune on top.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
