My MBC crapped out the other day, any recommendations on good manual or electronic ones?

hallman manual bc's are supposed to be real nice.apex elec. are supposed to be nice too

I'll toss in a vote for Hallman. Cheap and good. They just put a couple new ones out too I think.

I was gonna order a Hallman, but found a good deal on a Joe P one for 30$ shipped. Hallman wanted 50 plus shipping, so the Joe P MBC is on its way. Thanks for the suggestions...

I have the Joe-P. Pretty much the same thing as Hallman except cheaper!

can't you build the same thing from Home Depot for like ten bucks with fittings and valves and such? I have a TurboXS MBC that I paid way too much for, but since I have it I'll be using it...

Anyone have mounting/install photos of their MBC? I haven't searched for the wastegate and turbo lines yet, a photo could only speed things up...

Yeah, I built an MBC with parts from the hardware store. A tee, a couple barb fittings, a couple ball bearings, a spring, and a fine-thread bolt and nut. It was a revision of my first one (a union, two barbs, a ball bearing, and a spring) that was way simpler and cheaper but spiked a little more and was harder to adjust.

Yes, more newb questions.

Are there any good links or threads in this forum that shows how/where to install said MBC.

I also have to learn how they are manual exactly...

This thread should give you some idea:

Basically, there's a nipple coming off the compressor outlet and there's a nipple on the wastegate actuator. You use an MBC to connect the two, and cap off all the stock parts.

I guess they call them manual because they're not electronic...
