I have been reading here lately that most people have their MBC hooked into the turbo nipple and wastegate. It was hooked to the BOV as the source of boost and had constant 1.4 bar of boost through all gears. Since I used the turbo nipple as the source, I get less than 1 bar in 1st, a little over 1 bar in 2nd, and progressively 1.4 bar in 4th and 5th. I figure something can't be hooked up right. The actuator is the same, I didn't touch it. So the problem can't be there. The stock BOV is also on the car, took the Forge off.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem maybe? Would it hurt anything the way it was hooked up (the BOV being the source of boost)?

Thanks way in advance guys!

 

i had mine hooked into the wastegate and bov...capped off the compressor nipple...always had rock solid boost til redline and good adjustability with the controller


now i have XEDE so i am back to the stock config

 

I am thinking I will go back to using the BOV as the source of boost. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why the car was boosting wrong. Oh well.

Thanks for the info Evotagger.
