    Just go to the petshop and buy an aquarium air diverter. It's an ajustable bleed valve. Cost 2$.

    If you look at what their selling on ebay its just a 1/4" tee with two nipples and a bleed screw. Make it your self or buy the aquarium air bleeder.

    Yep,

    I purchased a MBC a while back and then eventually loaned it to a friend on the never-never plan..

    I ended up making one myself with a spring check ball style setup and it closely resembles this unit. Works as good as the $109 billet one I loaned out.

    It work well for me. I've done it on a 87 supra and a plymouth laser and work o.k. It's not very easy to tune if your valve have not lots of adjustability, but if your on a budget you can't complaint. I've seen people who just put a t on the vaccum line to bleed the boost and it work for them.
