Boost controller recommendations...

Anyone have opinions on best one to use on a stock turbo (1987 Grand National) and eventually a TE44 or TA49?

I would keep it simple and use an adjustable wastegate acuator to dial in the boost

at most get a RJC controller

So just buy this and call it a day...

How hard is it to adjust (or do I even adjust it?)?

 

[Boost231]

easy to adjust. mostly just set it and forget it. go to the track and you might tweak it when you put good gas in the car

MBC can be tricky...What works for one turbo/wastegate may not work for another.

If the bleeder hole on the actuator side of the controller is way too large , it will overboost badly. Slightly too large and it'll overshoot on the spoolup. Little too small and it can drop off at higher rpm. Way too small and it's bad news.

RJC hybrid/Gus Mahon MBC is the winner here. Visit the RJC Racing website.

Used rjc's on my 86 t jason was nice enough to put in and dial it in for me one year at nats. Was there with Scott from GNS preformance and it worked like a charm. jason is a top notch guy.

i use one thats similar to the RJC rock solid boost control our dyno guy had never seen such a smooth boost line before LOL

Decided to go electronic just so setting it is easier and safer and I wanted a turbo timer anyways so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone..

I just can't find the dimensions on it. Anyone have any knowledge/experience with this piece or company?

Let us know how it works for you, I'm interested in something like that as well.

Was about to order and came out to a flat... Looks like drag radials are coming first...

The BC your looking at might not have been your best option anyway. Ceramic ball and spring is a great option your setup.
