$270 is $269.99 over-budget if you're jewish. :P

plus my grandpa gave me that t04 off a tractor a few years ago, i'd like to show him that i used it.

how are your boost controllers? $20 seems too cheap
20$ is still expensive for a MBC when you can just slap a big washer in the wastegate to increase boost by a few psi with less chances of screwing something up .

Oh I see.
Yeah.... opening an internal wastegate is a real bitch. better sticvk with the MBC.

a HMT trick would be to plug the wastegate hose to the intake in lieu of the compressor, it will give you a few more psi because it will no longer take into account the ic pressure drop. But when doing so, make sure you use a large enough vacuum hose such as fuel hose or someting of a similar size.

Yeah i saw that turbo page on reading rainbow. I did not see anything about balancing specifically but still, a bunch of good info on turbo sizing and general good to know info.
