Hi
Need a boost controller for a t3, but which one. Lots on the market, but are they any good?
Recommendations on the right bit of kit would be nice please.

Cheers

yes there are lots, yes some are very good.

But chances are as benny says, all you need is a simple bleed valve.

Boost controllers are generally for when you are running higher boost ( relative to w/g pressure ), or have specific boost requirements that a simple bleed valve cannot achieve.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Defo manual.
I have a boost gauge fitted but I am a bit worried cos this is a newly built engine and I am unsure as to how its all set at the mo. I didn`t put it together.
I think I need to start off very gently and see how it all pans out.
So just a basic item off ebay will do the job then?
Thanks for the help so far

Yeah probably about a tenner, there just a 3 pronged thing with a knob on the top. Put it inline the pipe from snail to actuator and leave the middle leg open to atmosphere.
