Before you get rinsed for a Lindsey (Or worse 9XX) MBC - be aware it’s just a cheap air compressor adjustment valve similar to this one (adjustment ranges vary - I think the 944 used ones are 0-100 psi hence you need safecraclears fingers to go from 15-18psi):

High precise pressure gauge-, precise pressure regulation, strong pressure resistance. Adjustable Pressure Ranges: 0.05-0.85Mpa(0.51-8.7kgf/cm²). Max-Working Pressure: 1.0Mpa(10.2kgf/cm²). Note: Also Have the pressure regulating ranges 0.02-0.2Mpa(kgf/cm²).www.ebay.co.uk
Thanks. Got one alleged "UK stock", £7.49 delivered. Will do for the purposes of eliminating a faulty MBC.

I turned the original MBC fully down and still no boost control. I'll replace the MBC when the new connectors arrive, if that doesn't resolve it then I have mystery wastegate problem which makes no sense as we opened it up and checked, cleaned everything, put in a new diaphragm, and all looked good, no cracks, valve was perfect. Hope the MBC is to blame, if not I am puzzled.
I will pull apart the old MBC when it is off, if it has disintigrated possibly some debris in the MBC to side port line? Fook knows..........getting quite used to using my right foot as the wastegate now.

When you consider what it costs to repair a KLR or DME, or buy a new TPS, if any of them start playing up, something like VEMS plug and play makes sense.Good luck sorting the problem out, I'm considering an EBC for my car when it is up and running again. But even a second hand one is around £200, then you start wondering if it is worth saving the money and purchasing a full aftermarket engine management system.

£7.50 for the controller, £6 for 2 brass fittings and £1 for PTFE tape. Mustn't grumble at that.
Cheers to Eldavo for the heads up on the boost controller. I'm going to buy half a dozen and get some 9xx stickers put on them and sell them for £199 each........
Edit to add - the controller I bought is an AR 2000 and I had to buy 2 x 1/4 BSP 6mm male elbows to fit it.

Edit to add: they are handbrake adjusters, not self-adjusters, doh! Couldn't quite fathom how they would "self-adjust" anyway..........
