Can I run the MBC from the driver seat.

Can I run the Hallman Pro MBC from the cockpit driver seat and it still have enough pressure? With I lose vacuum from the extra long lines? Will it still work? I am lazy and do not want to get out and pop the hood everytime I want to add or minus boost.

your vacuum lines should be no longer than two feet to the mbc..

hallman does offer a kit that can adjust from inside the car if you were that lazy, i just dont know why you would need to keep fiddling with it

You need the Evolution RX kit. The one you have is not built to go inside the cockpit, but Hallman sells one that is specifically made to go inside the cockpit - why didn't you buy that one? Anyway, I think Hallman sells a conversion kit for it.

The in-cockpit kit is set up with the ball and spring mechanism staying under the hood to keep the vacuum lines short but places the tightening knob in the drivers comartment

I had the hallman with the cockpit boost adjuster in my 03 8. It was just a turn of the knob to increase or decrease boost. I had it mounted in the space below the hvac controls. If i ever go to a mbc in my BR350 i will use the samething.

Yeah I am lazy HAHA. I dont adjust all that much it just seems like when I do I am in the car. I really was just looking for a quick adjustment. If its only supposed to be two feet long then Im in trouble cause i think i am pushing 3 feet. What will happen. I havent had any problems with it so far.
