Where to buy spool valve? I know there's been some issues with performance metals works not selling them anymore, is there anyone who sells them for less than $500?
I have a T6 one I might sell, I had made. I didn't have the turbo at the time so I found dimensions for a T6 flange on the Internet, which turned out to be a little big on the bores, so you have to grind some clearance on the inside of the turbine housing on the butterfly side for it to open. PM me if your interested in it.

I do the machining on them for Larry at Sound Performance .Stainless steel is a total pain in the *** to work with but these valves work fantastic.
what the hell you guys making these out of 17-4 ..? 
s/s is easy if you have the right tooling and guys making it.. I can make that "spool valve" main housing in under 5 min.
even on a manual it souldnt take but 45 min for the main housing, then a few min. for the shaft and butterfly. if there selling for 500 thats not a bad price, if your cranking the handles...

There is someone making them for $479+ $115 for the pressure switch and soleniod. I have one for sale for $300 including the pressure switch and soleniod.
