You're mentioning two different things in a way that doesn't make sense.

Are you interested in a boost controller or something to control NPP mufflers?

I see what you're trying to say now. You want to use a boost controller to control when NPP flaps are open/closed?

If you are going to spend $80 on an MBC, and then you would have to go under the hood to open or close your exhaust, why not spend $80 and get the Mild to Wild kit? Or for $250 or so you can get a Dashlogic that does the same thing and gives you tons of extra features.

Or for that matter, with just $20 or so, you could buy a switch, a relay, and some wire and create your own kit that controls it from the cabin. That's what I did before I got my Dashlogic.

I can only assume he wants to use a manual boost controller to open the flaps at a certain amount of boost automatically

My first car was a Stealth actually (base model). I got a VR4 somewhere along the way and it never ran right.. I blew a few head gaskets, messed up some rod bearings, etc. It was fun the few times I got to drive it . Most of the issues were self inflicted by not knowing what the heck I was doing and not having enough money to do anything right (even if I had known what I was doing)

Nice, yea my first car was a base 92 3000GT when I was 16. The Stealth sure surprised a lot of people, especially off the line lol. It was quick for what it was back in its day, that is when it ran right they aren't the most reliable. Were you ever on 3si.org? Your username sounds looks familiar.
