ok i installed my turbo today and everything went good. I heard that on the 9 actuator that it will boost 20psi and with a mbc hooked up turned all the way down it will boost minimum of 24-25psi. I want to run my mbc so i can use it like this and cap it off when im not using race gas. My problem is im running off just the wastegate right now but im only boosting 1.1bar which is like 15psi. can anyone help??? I checked for leaks and everything, i think it has something to do with the way my vaccuum lines are ran.

 

running a boost control will not raise your minimum boost if its turned all the way down. its the wastegate that control minimum boost.

so hook up the MBC and turn it up to what you want the boost at.

i dont see a problem...

 

im going to try this tomorrow...i just thought that i read somewhere that with the 20g-9 that the minimum you can boost with the mbc hooked up is like 24psi

 

That is only true if you bought it with the high boost actuator. If you did not then you get a stock evo 9 actuator that runs the same boost as the Evo 8 actuator.

well looks like i need to tare some some stuff apart tomorrow

 

how come? hook up the boost controler and get it up to 18-20 what ever you want it to be. why are you going to be taking things apart? did something bad happen?

 

i disconnected the boost controller i need to re connect it now

 

take some pics of it, i wanna see it the turbo.
