Default manual boost controller

i was looking at buying a boost controller pretty soon for inside my car and didnt want to go and spend 300+ dollars for some fancy electronic thing. i was hoping to pay maybe $100-150 at the most. i checked ECS and they had some that looked like it would do the job but they didnt come with any hoses or anything. can anyone help me out to find hoses or another place to buy a cheap boost controller? thanks

just get an n75 race valve.. no need for a mbc unless you have a BT. You shouldnt be messing around with boost levels too much unless you have major mods..

ya...im only chipped ATM, but many people are saying theyre running about 18 psi just fine, while im only running 15. im sure the 3 psi wont do much, if anything at all, but i do have plans in the future to go BT. so it couldnt hurt to get one now i guess.

I agree!!! The N75 is a waste of money a MBC is the way to go if you are smart about it.....Don't fool yourself tho 18psi is waaaayyy plenty and I would not go much more on pump gas.
