Would this valve work in a custom MBC setup
I know its free flowing from one side and flow controlled in the other direction...
and its needle and ball/spring type
basically, if i had two 1/4" Male NPT x 3/16" hose barb
what do you guys think... would be better than a home depot mbc?
its the flow control valve in this link not the needle valve or the check valve

look at the link posted...
what they call a "check valve" is not the same as a conventional check valve...
the one they offer will need to be modified (drill a little hole) and thats it...
FYI, a manual ball and spring boost controller is a check valve

Re: Would this valve work in a custom MBC setup
ok, i got it in the mail today....
i will say this...
it COULD be used as a boost controller, but a new spring will need to be used. the one provided is EXTREMELY weak sauce.
the nut on top is extremely difficult to turn off the first time, they use a thread sealer so its not supposed to be adjustable.
im not sure how much work will need to be done to make it work as a MBC, but it can be modified to work, and i think it would be pretty easy to do.
i will look more at it tonight and see what i can come up with.
