BeachRat Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Did you install the vacuum lines correctly on the MBC? Inlet is the line from the turbo, outlet goes to the wastegate.It's likely installed backwards, I had the same problem when I put mine in! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PullMyFinger Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have the Hallman, it came with two springs. I used the HEAVY SPRING with no issues at all.Well, besides my pathetic 15g not holding boost to redline. But it goes to where I set it and then fades out. So the controller is doing its job.

That way it fades to ~18psi and all is well with a nice amount of torque down low?? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PullMyFinger Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 haha, not exactly. I was running about 18psi which gives a huge torque spike down low. But it would fade off horribly. I've lowered it down some, maybe 15 or so now. Its more even but its just time to ditch the 15g. Wish I had the time to mess around with the T3 sitting in my garage all plumbed and ready to go....

Zulu Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Using a T-bird Pull? And your rims are poking sick wlfbronco. Sorry off-topic, but compliments are always on-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Kelly Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Did you try all the gears? I can only get 11 psi in 1st, but I boost 14 psi nicely in the others. I don't really see why you have a MBC if you're chipped and boosting fine with the chip.+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
