I used it on the van, and it worked flawlessly. ---

Where exactly do you drill the 0.020" hole? Is that a picture of the drill bit next to the 90\* barb? Is it pointing to where to drill the hole? I don’t wanna blow up a $30,000 car with a $10.00 part… MS Paint Photoshop on one of the pictures? ---

drill it at the top of the 90 barb, its just there to stop spikes ---

I think dynolash only comes out for custom tunes with a min of 5 people. Maybe I will just send the thing in the mail next time the parents go on vacation so I can steal their car :tup: ---

> [@Zer0DazE](#): > > this is a dawes device meathead. they say right on their site that its gus’s boost controller. duh, I was just pointing out that dawes device was another name for it 🙂 I believe you can get them with a synthetic ball that is lighter and gives better response as well. This device always gave me the most instant and steady boost control in my WRX, hands down. The only downside is that it will also allow you to go full boost during partial throttle which can be very dangerous. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > Joes was the same one pictured, and like i said mine worked but Joe had issues with his. ah. i have seen with “L” shaped MBCs the spring get stuck if it was taken appart and not put back together properly. then you get lots of boost really quickly. ---

same design as the one i have… works like a charm except one time it got stuck when i was adjusting it, kept adjusting no change, then finally it got free’d up and was boosting probably around 25 psi saw it jump up to 20 not even full throttle and let off… oops (stock is 7, recommended max on stock fuel is like 12 psi :/) edit: but once set its very accurate :tup: ---
