Re: some sort of boost controller?

same thing, you can use a air regulator valve as a boost controller, probly the first step on the ladder of controllers.

We've used regulator valves from home depot for some time now... works fine with the exception of the varience you get with weather.

hey, i got this with the truck when i bought it, and i think its a boost controller. its a norgren R07-100RNAA.

inlet 300psig max
outlet 10psig max
temp 150 max

it has 4 holes. 2 with vac. fittings and two plugs.

heres a pdf about it the 07 model

That looks identical to the Turbonetics I'm using. Works great and no problems. There should be little arrows telling you which way the lines need to run. You pull the knob out to set the pressure then push in on the knob to lock it. Basic, sturdy and easy to use. I give it my stamp of approval. However, based on the stats you've listed (if you're sure they are for that controller) it's comparable to the Turbnetics 1040210 which is only capable of 10psi. So, if you intend to run more than that, you'll need something else. There are three versions that all look the same that are capable of 10, 25 & 50psi. Based on that stats and model number I would say it's the 10psi one.

I'd imagine the only differences are an internal spring, you can get a valve from home depot for 20 bucks that will work, so dont spend too much on another one.

If you search the internet you'll find info on how to build your own aquarium valve MBC with parts from Home Depot/Pet store that will set you back less than $10 and works great. Look for one that gives info on how to drill a pressure release into it as this will help with boost spikes and help give better control.

Got my Turbonetics 10402-25 today, but the sticker on the bottom says Norgren R07-100-RNTA Inlet max 300psi Outlet max 25psi
Could just find one arrow on the four ports, one is outlet port juged by the direction of the arrow. So I guess the other three is inlet ports right? or?

No, just the other port opposite the arrow port. The other ports that are plugged are not used.

Re: some sort of boost controller?

Why I was somehow confused was because the plugs comes in a smallplastic bag so you have to plug them yourself. At a closer look theres only one inlet and the other three are outlets.

This is what's waiting to go on Sy #434:

It displays in PSI and has overboost warning and protection...those were the deciding factors for me. Had a manual with knob in the cab on my old DSM and it worked well, though.

EBCs are great but for someone on a budget or that has other go fast goodies to spend the money on the MBCs can be very cost effective.

No argument there. Any boost controller is better than none.
