i wouldn't do the mbc if you haven't done tuning.... don't turn the boost up is what i mean
for a diy, check audidiy.com, but if you tap into the hose coming off you fpr you can run through the gromit there, then the gromit that the engine harnes goes through

how do i run the mbc? my friend is doin this all for me. i have the boost guage exactly t-d off the wire the guy did in his picture on here but it wont move the guage and all and when i unplug in from the guage theres suction on the hose... any help would be appreciated

Theres supposed to be suction, there is vacuum instead of pressure when you arent boosting, if your gauge shows boost only and not vac then there shouldnt be a reading until you give it some gas while your driving. And are you tuned, do you have a chip etc?? if you dont you cant use a mbc.

cincytt did a complete write up on mbc, boost gauge, and diode mod so you can use the mbc until you get a chip or go bt its in the DIY section. And if your boost gauge doesnt show vac and only press...get one that does.
