Title: boost valve question
Post by: ramair351 on September 02, 2012, 12:00:29 PM
i have one of those cheapie ebay boost controller valves on my  88TC,  which is basically a controlled vacuum leak.  since putting this on my cruise control surges, does this make sense that is the cause?    would the Gillis valve be better and not cause this?

I have an ebay one on my car too, but no problems. Maybe you are stealing to much vacuum from the cruise control actuator. I have mine on a dedicated barb directly off the intake and I have it piped so there's no vacuum leak because I'm using a external 2 port waste-gate. I think if you give yours its own direct line to the intake manifold it will solve your problem though.
