What do you guys think of them? Experiences? I've heard the Joe P one was good. What about the Redline one? The TurboXS one?

I thought about getting one for my DET but then too many people told me to just hold out for a little bit and get something electronic. u can get an electronic one used pretty cheap, and I think the Blitz single solenoids are about $290 new. there are lots of people running manual ones with no problems. But if you get one you'll need to watch that boost gauge close *** they tend to fluctuate depending on the weather(I have no experience with them and my statement is based on what i heard from people who has them) Anyone wanna add to this??
Hope this helps,
Nick

They Suck! Electronic onez are way better. U can blow your engine from the drivers seat without havin to pull over and turn it up.

YOu can get the turbo xs duel stage boost controller and have to preset psi levels that you can change back and forth from the cockpit in your car.

If you are looking for a manual boost controller, i will sell you my standard boost controller from Turbo Xs.... i was going to put it on my WRX but i decided against it for now. I have never used it and i will sell it to you or any one for $60 plus 1/2 of shipping.

Let me know. They are currently $80.

Peace

Right now I use a Regulator from a Compressor works fine I think Mike Kojima suggested this....cost me 20 bucks at home depot works like a charm

Well from what I understand its the same thing as a XS Manual boost controller it contains a valve that lets air in thats spring loaded and uses a Diaphram atleast thats what mike kojima said all I know is it does work

I've heard everything from homedepot to petsmart (fish tank parts) from the DYI crowd :D

What you're doing is creating a controlled leak in the line to the wastegate actuator, thus when the actuator sees X psi it's actually seeing X+leak psi, so the wastegate opens later making more boost and more fun :) Helps to route the leaked air back to the turbo just like the bypass (blowoff) valve does.

Cheers,
