its 60 bucks, but its a steal. there usually 110$ i think.

edit: what is so special is they make a great product that has been proven over the years. i have personally owned 15 or 16 as every time i bought a turbo car that was getting modded this would be the boost controller.

They work consistently.

If you can't afford an extra $50 or so bucks for a quality product, wait and save. That $50 will not go far towards an engine rebuild when the "cheap" one fails.

I dont know if you have ECMLink V3, but I run boost control by ECU and it run geat.

 

[thecannoliman121]

ya I actually am getting a v3 for it

then hold off on the boost controller and just buy the solenoid from then and run your boost through link. the solenoid is like 40 bucks. fits right in your budget.

just trying to be helpful, you don't need to be a dick about it.

also its not alot, it's a lot. learn some grammar.

If you can find a used Hallman pro that is the way to go if you want mechanical boost control. If you can't find one, get a Hallman ES or something. Quality is important. You don't want to cheap out on something that could potentially blow up your car if it fails.

I'm nonverbal a dick. I've been lost about all this stuff and this is helping me out a lot. Sorry if I'm coming off that way

didn't mean to be so vulgar, had a bad day, it seemed very sarcastic.

if you can wait till you get v3 then save your money and run that. that is what i did with this specific vehicle, but if you don't want to wait then get the hallman, save your money and buy the best mechanical one that you can. there is no reason to half ass things. i normally don't, but just recently i did and i paid for it. once with my radiator in 138 and second with 1078 i bought ebay, what i thought was OEM quality, timing components and the tensioner failed after 9000 miles and i bent all the valves. save your money, buy the better parts and save some money, time and heartache.
