If you have a turbo

You can make your own for about $3.50USD or less. I made mine for free. Everything you need can be pulled froma junkyard vehicle in less than 2 minutes.

Just use a emission control solenoid out of a junkyard car. I used an EVAP purge solenoid from an older Chrysler car to bleed boost from my WG sense line. The only thing that may be hard to come across in the yard is the bleeder valve you use to adjust the second stage of boost. However, that can either be picked up at a local hardware store or with a little experimenting, you can just use restrictors in the hose(s) to accomplish the same thing as the bleeder valve. If you want, I can go into detail. I even have a schematic here somewhere. I'm sure you can figure it out on your own though.

Got to love turbochargers. I can change from 6-10psi with the flip of a switch whenever I feel like it. It's fun.
