For a poor mans control...

Ive used a Tee, with one leg the input air, one leg to the device you want to pressurize and the third leg just open to the air.... when you pressurize all the air rushes out of the open tube, but by either bending the hose or placing your thumb over it (or I guess with a valve), you can direct the pressure to the device. Actually gives you pretty precise and immediate control (as opposed to dialing the pressure regulator on the compressor)

If you need to know what the pressure is, add a gauge past the T.

Used this for syncing/adjusting wastegate release pressures on dual turbo set ups, where you want to repeatedly ramp pressures past some small nominal value, and make sure both 'break' at the same pressure.
