STS Boost Controller Heads-Up
For anyone using the STS boost control I have a heads up for you. If you used the plastic T in the line from the compressor housing (or the intake manifold) to the STS Boost Adjuster and the waste gate it can break. Mine broke and it had just a little pressure on it from the silicone reference lines. I replaced it with a brass T from a local auto store.
Have a good one.

I am surprised my boost gauge line has held up as good as it has being that it's nylon. Only time will tell.
