So I want a MBC, but $80 for a turbo smart sounds steep, and I'm a cheap ***. What do you guys use that is cheap and works really well? I just wanna run 12-14 psi. Thanks.

I just have a cheap $10 ebay mbc - it works fine.
They're so dirt simple, you won't really find one that performs substantially better/worse than anything else - a $10 unit (provided it doesn't show up broken) will work just as well as an $80 one.

I used to use an old air compressor regulator that I had laying around. It was really touchy though since it could go to 140psi. The turbo smart one looks like quality, but like I said I'm a cheap ***, and under $20 is my style.

I was looking for parts at work so I could build that one, but I couldn't find them. Perhaps the local hardware store will carry that grainger valve. A Lowes just opened right near me on Friday, maybe they carry the parts?
