Oreo931 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 You cant use one on your car. Anything past 1999 and up will not work with a manual boost controller. The write up is also sufficient, especially if you search for other threads . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiku Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 hmmthere's a big FAQ LIST AT THE TOP OF THE PERFORMANCE SECTIONhttp://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?s...ost&p=40144Can you put a MBC on an ME7 car?Yes you can control boost with the control on a me7 car but it will not function right when you hit ur max boost allowed by the ecu. The ecu has a varible to where the boost is to be set. When you use a Mbc you change the whole boost curve and the computer can see that. Also it can see when u go over the set boost limit. Then what it will do it pull throttle and lower boost down. 1st and 2nd gear feel normal cause 1.3 Bar is not reached. But when you get into 3rd gear you will Build boost then reach your max boost then the ecu start yanking your throttle shut cause it has seen too big a difference in boost. So really the answer is you should control boost through the ecu and no the boost controll wont work properly not unless you have some sort of electronic bleed on the MAP signal. We are working on some sort of piggyback systems for the me7 cars. Just alot of tinkering to see what works and doesnt. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylerwaite Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 thanks. i'm guessing the stock ecu is already set at the highest possible boost? what if i wan't to lower it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
