    I still need a couple more small bits for my MSM Miata project. My budget is cheap.

    Manual boost controller
    Oil catch can (I may make one but if anyone has a cheap used one I'll buy it)
    GM IAT sensor to use with MS. I'll probably buy this from DIY autotune since I will need the bung as well.
    Blow off valve/bypass valve - something cheapish to use would be great.

    Oops...wrong section. This should be in the classifieds.

    I went down a similar road this past summer.

    Boost controller can be made with items from a hardware store...google it. I think around 20 bones

    I ended up finding a gm IAT at the junkyard with the bung If i recall it was in a 3rd gen fbody

    Blow off/bypass i found was a unit from a probe gt, which was a bpv, i had considered a dsm bpv but never came across one.

    anyways good luck with the boost

    The Probe unit sucks, unfortunately... not much of an upgrade over the MSM unit.

    Evan, i have an MSM one if you want it to get you through for a little bit, just bear in mind that they kindof suck.

    I think the cheapest decent ones you're going to find are going to be DSM or MR2 Turbo units. Nod goes to the MR2 unit for being better. Should be able to find one for $20-$30 on any of the Toyota boards.

    I have a black plastic Summit oil catch can if you're interested?

    Evan, I actually have this Saturday and Sunday off. If you're available I can bring the parts down this weekend. Also have the old BOV from the Hairball, so I can toss that in as well.
