As a laugh I thought you all might appreciated the temporary waste gate controller I rigged up a few weeks ago (6-9psi). I found this heavy spring and wire in my garage. I have since replaced it with a Kennedy since I didn't have time to make a permanent one. I turned up the boost by tying an additional sprink link together. My vaccuum pump siezed up two weeks ago.

wow, never seen a home made tm like that. i won't even ask what you do in the way of a job. probably could have bought a vac pump off ebay for the price of a manufactured tm.

Too many projects taken on at once. I know I could have made one cheaper but pile that on with my home renovations, Frybrid installation and summer camping trips for a recipe for overloaded. Something had to give.
