OK, I've done a lot of searching, it appears as though there are two very distinct ways people install a Manual Boost Controller.

I'm installing mine this week, and I'm trying to get a judge of what works best and what is safest for the car.

From what I've read, in general, people that tap the BOV line and cap the turbo nipple are very happy with the result... they claim no taper throughout full RPM scale,etc. etc.

However, I've seen people quoting Al @ DynoFlash saying never ever ever tap the BOV or cap the turbo nipple...

So what's the deal? How'd you do it? Why'd you do it?

Thanks, in advance.

 

i would go straight to the source, granted tapping the bov line is less work... but do u wanna do it right or do it quick?

 

i went off the turbo. thinking that i would have a more consistant pressure to the bov.....

 

tapped to the bov line. Even when i installed my greddy rs bov, pressure is 100%...

 

I hooked the MBC right up to my nipples - oooooh

 

I tee'd it off the BOV just like Buschur said to.

 

i went off the turbo nipple......holds boost perfect.

 

Hehe, looks to be almost an even split so far... I hope we get a big response on the poll, I'm very curious how the community pans out on this

 

no taper till red line.... 20psi all day ... hehe
so to the turbo nipple for me

 

going off the turbo you don't have to tee anything....makes things easier for me

 

Tap BOV Line to MBC



the only issue i had was a small leak where i tapped to bov

 

Good poll and info.

 

turbo nipple

 

I first tee-d the BOV line but then after reading a post the pointed out that when the desired boost is reached the MBC bleeds off air. That air that is being bled off is also what is used to keep your BOV shut. I switched to the nipple cause I figured that my BOV could use all the help it could get staying shut

 

Hmmm, all right, so now the poll is leaning towards Turbo Nipple... I'll likely end up installing that way.

Thanks everyone!
