Think about it for a minute. If you are getting boost creep then lowering the MBC setting won't have any effect until you drop below the boost creep's upper threshold. Make sense?
I realise that changing the O2 housing is a pain, but I don't think anyone in your 2 threads has pointed at the MBC yet except for you.

What you're describing is what I experienced a few months ago. Changes on the MBC setting didn't work as expected. I solved the problem by cleaning and greasing the spring and ball on my Unos. I still think that the ball should be a little bit bigger, it was getting stuck so bad that it took me quite a while to take it out of the MBC.

I have a IX with an MBC and am not completely sold on the setup -- I would rather have the ECU and EBC do the work.....

High boost spikes, about 25-26 PSI. Re-setting the MBC was not consistant, sometimes boost was too low and sometimes it was still high. The problem was solved completely after lubing the spring and ball.

I was told by Mike to contact him if i ever had this issue and i get no responses at all. Ill probl end up taking this mbc off and buying a hallman or something else bc i need to get this fixed soon!!
