My brother got everything from his work so I assume just about any ace will have the parts needed. The one I am using worked fine with no spike issues or anything.
some guy in MN sells nice ones for 12.95 shipped (hes way up north) found em on ebay there pretty nice. i was gona build my own too untill i found that for probly about the same as the parts would cost me and i wouldnt have to try and drill and tap shit

You can buy the one me and my friend made for $10. We got the parts from ACE hardware.

Ok I built one finaly I am trying to figure out where to mount it in the engine bay. I will get a picture of it soon. The one problem is that once in a while it will have a boost spike. I have it set at 10psi but every once in a while it creeps up to 12 then back down, that is what is called a boost spike right? How do i fix this?
I think though I need to find a different spring though. This one is kind of touchy.
Anyway it is a lot cheeper then buying one.
BTW everything is stock on the car (for now anyway) 10 psi is a safe setting on it right now right?
