Talking

sounds like a honda owners idea.

most definatly swing your kicking leg back as far as you can
and kick the next person in the croch as hard as you possibly can
and as many times as you can b4 he hit the ground...

If you buy a Dejon Tool MBC it comes with a straight hose adapter with a hole drilled in it for faster spool. Depending on the size of the hole it wont create a dangerous boost spike. But rather than put holes in hoses which can split and subsequently destroy the motor, you can buy a Dejon Tool.

The typical MBC (forge, hallman) allready has a hole in it, it's called bleed port

Unplugging the boost source to the wastegate will allow the turbo to run absolute max boost. I see 27/28 peak boost but on straight 110 leaded fuel I can run the boost with no timing retard at 12:1 cleanly.

your an idiot. People need to stop commenting when they have no clue about something..

Yes it will cause added boost. Mazda uses such ****ty vacume lines that my MSP's vac likes dryrotted and my motor almost blew up but i suddenly noticed it was super fast and herd it knocking so i let out.

This is not a good way to add boost when mbc's cost less than 10$ to make.

Adding a vacuum T of small enough diameter bleed port is how some accomplish additional boost.

Also, if you take the vacuum line off of the wastegate, it will make low boost. About 12psi in our case. What are you all talking about??? It makes max pressure?? Am I missing something??

The WGA doesnt open the WG so max boost is made... If you have no mbc in place the WGA opens when the spring compresses (around 12psi on the stock WGA).

I've heard of this as a form of cheating is well
