xenocron.. on that site you linked, are you using the solenoid kinda like abaz did? Do you know what kind and where I could find a solenoid I can use?

Also, here's the one i'm using and it works great... also really easy to put together

I'd like to know as well. This actually looks like a boost controller that I would consider.

How is the inline one better than the T one? and how does one prevent boost creep more than the other.

just get a valve with the 1/4" npt fittings, then close the valve.

or do something like this, i can never find the parts for it, mainly the female fitting

You can do it with 2 male nipples and a coupling nut, which allows for 2 points of adjustment. I did one like that from pieces I had left over from my boost gauge installation.

yeah, i thought of doing that, but i figured that there would be way to much play for the bearing and the spring

air adjusment valve works good though
