Mbc Fitted At Last :)

[EmR2T]

Fitted my MBC yesterday and got it set up today.

First of all - what an absolute !Removed! of a job getting the hose on the left actuator pipe - no room to move and the pipe is as awkward as possible position wise.

Anyway - currently getting around 14psi in 3rd then 15psi bang on in 4th and 5th. What a massive diference it makes :D Doesn't even feel or sound like it is ragging the ***** off it. The new found power is incredibly smooth and its nice having more more torque. Made the car so much better than stock. Even going from 80-110 in 5th is so quick.

What psi are other MBC modded cars here running? I am not sure whether to leave it at 15 or reduce it down to just below around the 14 mark. The boost levels are very consistent though which is great.

im runnin 10 and 15 psi mate on a dual solenoid boost controller.

Do you ever use the 10 setting? :)

It's a fair difference between 10 and 15 isn't it.

I get 1bar then drop to 0.8bar in first 2 gears.... then strong on 1bar in 3,4,5th gear.

But abit unsmooth when I boost half way on 0.6bar, turbo is jerkying...then ok on other boost level... is my turbine out of balance??

[tony4]

maybe not jerking... more like wastegate fluttering on air...

i run 15, trouble is so bored of it now :(

[tony4]

bored?? a normal MBC is capable of 30psi tweeking.....then...kaboom....

Here come a bigger turbo..

Normal turbo blows hot air after 15 psi though!

14 psi & 17 psi low & high settings on a profec b ebc.

Used to run 13 psi on my type II with an mbc but would spike on cold nights.
