Manual Boost Controller??

schmauch · Oct 4, 2004

OK, lets see if I get flamed on this one, and yes I did a search.........

Here is the deal, I hooked up the MBC today (one side going to the WG, and the other side going to the back of the turbo, capped off both lines) well this was no good, I can't boost over 13 and the stock BOV goes crazy between 0-5 PSI. Okay, so I put a T conector in the line going to the back of the turbo, same thing. Now, looking a little deeper I think I have the T hooked up to the wrong line (Green), it looks like it should be T'd at the blue line, is this correct? I disconnected the MBC and hooked up the stock lines, it's back to normal..

Remember, in order to properly use the MBC you need to ditch the stock WGA and get an adjustable one. If you want, I'll let you buy the WGA off of SRT_USAF instead of me just so you can use the MBC.

I was hoping that the stock WG would still work. I know it will drop boost at high RPM's but I am OK with that thinking that it will be easier on the engine.

BTW why are you guys using the vacum/pressure lines directly off the turbo instead of off the manifold?

Turbo pressure is always going to be higher because of pressure drop.I assume you all know that, so it would be more acurate to use line of manifold.

That's what I was saying yesterday about needing the aftermarket WGA - but Joe's the man to ask on this one. There may be a way around it but I don't know it.

SRT_USAF, if Schmauch's willing to buy it, go ahead and sell him the WGA since he will need it more than I with that MBC he's got now. I can always order one later anyway. Let's go ahead and get him hooked up.
And get yo' damn RESUMIX in already. You can even do it from home via DSL if you have it. Check the CHRMA website.

Should I get it done quick because you're going to help me out?

Depends on how bad-ass your computer and networking equipment skills are.

Or how bas-ass you write up your computer and networking skills in your resume :readclose

That too, but you WILL get "quizzed" during the interview. I was tested heavily against 50 other applicants, most of whom had 4 year degrees (I have none) and they couldn't even answer some of the basic questions. Real world vs. school knowledge I guess.

So how's she running now?

I have it disconnected right now, I was going to take 99's idea and T off at the intake manifold.....

That's impossible, that's less than 3% drivetrain loss. Who did the dyno?
