good idea...there is a lowes down the street.

Al mentioned a resistor for boost control...which one is that?

IRLZ44 transistor, and a mica insulator/mounting kit the insulator and mounting is the same as the idle transistor. also a 10k resisotr and 1n4002 diode but you can get those at radioshack.

looks like this:

I'm just going to JB Weld the sucker.

I believe it's actually a 1/2" compression fitting sleeve, which is threaded for 3/8"

I could just JB weld that **** to the stock piping and then actually weld the bung to my IC piping, no big deal.

Where did you build your boost control circuit al?

I need the transistor/mica as well.

If not, where else could I get them, sorry to be a bother, I'm not good with this stuff unless I'm actually messing with it...so all the different resistors are like...um?
