I too would like to know about them. I saw a dual stage controller in summit produced by them and at a good price too. I just want a switch that says "HI/LOW" hehehe...

I'm interested in their boost controller too (I'm assuming you mean the SBC)... I actually emailed them today to see if the base-model has enough adjustability to get from 7psi to 12psi or if i'd need the HPBC (larger range). as far as manual (non-electronic) boost controllers go, it should be fine. all those cheap boost controllers (DNA, TurboXS, etc) are just ball-and-spring valves and control boost usually as well as a simple electronic boost controller. as long as you know how to adjust it and keep an eye on your boost gauge, it should be fine. SCC actually did a test on this a year or two ago, and those types of boost controllers work as well as all but the most expensive of electronic boost controllers.

as for TurboXS the company, they make very high quality parts and their BOVs are very nice (I know a guy with an Eclipse that has one, and everything I've heard on these forums, MR2 forums, RX-7 forums, etc has been good).

thats good to know ... i thinking about the dual stage boost guage with the switch .... i think that would be cool ... not a bad price and easier to install ... let me know about that boost bc i need to boost from 7 to 12 psi ...

if you are up for saving a little dough go to www.dejontool.com and look at thier med-hi boost controler it is just as much if not more reliable and it is also less expensive the piece uses all industrial grade penumatic actuators myself and many of my friends use this piece and have had no reliability problems at all
