mjharrington605 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Plan on purchasing the hbc from 3 bar racing for my t5m. I dont want to turn up the boost to high because i want the car to last me a while so what im wondering is if its worth it? Also does it actually decrease the spool up time without turning up the boost? Sorry if these questions have been discussed i searched and didnt find anything. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ean carr Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have noticed with most MBC's it actually delays boost response and you will see boost later than with the TCV. Now with a good wastegate actuator and MBC you will see great response and hold it fairly well. the stock TCV does a pretty good job and if you are not happy get the IPD HDTCV.
