Installing Mbc

Well, I looked to my BCS and all 3 lines coming from turbo

Which should I connect

Use compressor and wastegate line for MBC and leave the third line just plugged in or??

IIRC the ECU will just adapt to the MBC and cut boost back to stock on anything 99 and newer

but if you still want to try

one line goes from the compressor to the MBC, the other goes from the waste gate to the MBC and the fresh air one just gets capped off

Ok here is an update installed it and went for a drive. Hit 15-16 psi on 2nd gear and I felt that fuel cut

It says that MBC comes where it would only boost to 5psi and then you need adjustment.

Ok, I tried to connect MBC both ways and all the time I had 15psi

I connected wastegate and compressor vac lines together and 15 psi

WTF?

Here is what happens. If I disconnect the air inlet hose that connect to BCS and have 2 lines plugged into bcs same thing happens when I try to connect MBC

how do i know that? because its been discussed quite a few times on the forum...

I know its been discussed but people never actually tried because I few people I know run MBC on 99+ with no problems ;)

I am not trying to make this car run 25+ on MBC I just want to run good solid 13-14 psi, and trust it me it works before you hit 16 aka fuel cut

I totally agree it hasn't been researched enough. Good work on actually following through with it.

As for connections, make sure you have the MBC pointed the right way. What MBC are you using?
