It looks pretty cool, I know some guys have done a waste gate set up to bleed boost and this would be the samething except probally cheaper

Itll cost roughly the same for a wastegate and a manual boost controller. You could also make that part at home depot for like 30$

Just don't use one on a turbo. Think about being WOT at redline and then blowing a coupler. The turbo rpms would surge uncontrollably (no boost = no wastegate opens, nothing to stop or slow the turbo down). This same thing would be happening here.

Looks like it would be fine on a supercharger.

This is exactly what I want to do. Get more boost down low without more up top. Has anyone done this to a vortech intercooled kit by chance? If so or not what would I need to do to make it work? Sorry for the hijack....

You just need a ball check valve. Grainger is a better place to buy stuff like that.

What size? I would imagine it would need to be atleast 1/2 in to bleed off enough air volume as to not overboost. No doubt pulley sizing would play a big part in this...

I wouldn't either. Haven't seen any reviews and This guy is not gonna be the ginnie pig lol. I was thinking about doing something very similar with a wastegate and a EB2. Proven parts with a lot of tech support available. I'd want it to be adjustable on the fly...say a can or 2 of C-16 and I have 4psi more available. Expensive but a little more adjustable I'd think.
