Just don't let anyone/any shop mess with your MBC settings!

ok so i hooked up a MBC and wow what a difference it makes my car feels real nice..I actually hooked up a turbosx mbc and i didnt know i had bought the one that only goes up to 15psi the $80 dollar one and the **** actually fell of..I was wondering why i wasn't hittin 18 psi and the **** was turned all the way..so i wen back and returned and paid the difference for the performance one $140 one lol..can't wait to hook that one up and this time i better be hitting 18psi [:@]...def did not feel any hesitation when i had the mbc hooked up..the acceleration felt so smooth and it pulled so hard, i never felt my car run this strong..really happy with the improvement..

Why cant people read directions that come with the mbc's [sm=headbang.gif]
If you follow the directions the mbc works very well. FYI, the line from the charge pipe goes to the side fitting and the bottom fitting goes to the wastegate.

So there is only 2 lines that have to be switched off right..i have the one that goes into the charge pipe go into the side of the mbc and the one that comes from the turbo/wastegate to the bottom of the mbc

Than you have it installed correctly. Just follow the directions that came with it or at turboxs.com and it will work great. Think most have problems since they dont use enough B&S (course) and basically all bleed (fine).
