BrianT Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 just installed the MBC...i also am cleaning my air filter, so while thats drying, can you confirm that this is correct before I start the car up...MBC...Loop on stock solenoid...EDIT: I hope its right because I just did some test runs with it. Somehow I set it perfectly where I wanted it straight from the beginning. Boosting 15-17psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncreasedX Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Lol every single one of you has different setup... than me I have the Y Connector and one port of my MBC is actually not even being used .. yet I still get the boost here I'll show some picturesY connectorMBC one port is not usedOne of the Y connectors going to.. what I think is the turbo, I'm not gonna act like I know what it is since I still don't know engines muchAnother Y Connector going hereAnd the last connection is going to my Boost GaugeI believe I have it right... don't quote me, cause when I put the pedal to the ground I get ~15 PSI... and that was AFTER i took the BCS out, although when I drive I can feel my car some-waht stuttering like it's almost trying to keep up, gonna turn it down a lil since I don't really have any engine mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loseR99 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 The first Y connector you have shown runs from the manifold to the compressor bypass valve and should be tapped with a T or Y fitting for a boost gauge. The reason you are able to boost 15psi is because the wastegate is pretensioned to 7.5psi, the max boost setting on a stock car, once this pressure is overcome the wastegate will fully open and give roughly twice the amount of boost as the pretension, which happens to be about 15psi. Basically, your boost controller is inactive at this point and you're running no boost control, straight wastegate setting. I suggest following the boost controller bypass post to get things right.

IncreasedX Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Well... stupid me I found the yellow or red tube (Forgot which one) and put that on the MBC so now I have both yellow and red tubes connected so now the MBC is being used. I'm getting around 11 PSI with both of them connected.. and that's with my MBC almost all the way in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red should be the input into the MBC, directly across from the adjustment knob/screw, and yellow should be the output going directly to the wastegate actuator. Make sure you don't have them crossed. The t-fitting is not connected to the mbc in any way correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncreasedX Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Correct, I believe I have it setup right I'll check tmw EDIT: Checked and it's correct, Boosting around 10-11, Stock can go around ... like what 13? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loseR99 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 If you free up the exhaust you should be good for 15psi on an oem ecu tune. But if you haven't touched the exhaust yet i'd stay 10-12psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I set it perfectly where I wanted it straight from the beginning. Boosting 15-17psi. My question.......So whats the difference between setting it up like BrianT, and doing the setup like how it was shown in the very first post in this thread? Which one is more efficient and gives more power, if it does. I am really clueless, I just found a old MBC I bought 3 years ago and want to install it already.

loseR99 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Not more power, quicker spool time, and the ability to hold boost steadier. Set it up like Brian and I, bypass the solenoid and run the red line from the compressor to the MBC inlet, and the MBC outlet to the wastegate (yellow line). Everything else can be capped or looped.

followyoursole Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok will do...but before I do it let me make sure one more thing before I remove and plug hoses. On the stock solenoid it this the correct color correlation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
