The Official MBC Install Picture Thread

Lets post up pictures of all of the various mounting locations people have for their MBC. Dosen't matter if they are underhood or cabin mounted..lets see um!

This should be interesting to see where everyone has them mounted and serve for informational purposes for those DIY's.



Pic of mine will be up tonight...

There was a thread almost exactly the same as this one in the show and shine section. Seek and ye shall find. Actually, not almost, exactly!

We don't recommend running our boost controller from the bypass valve reference line as shown in that photo. This can cause inconsistent operation of both the valve and the boost controller.

The valve should have it's own unique line from the intake manifold.

The boost controller should have it's own unique line from the turbo outlet pipe.

I took a pic of mine but it didnt turn out well. It is located under my Buschur air filter in the stock boost control solenoid location. I will try and get a better one tomorrow.

Agreed!

I had mine that way and the BOV was opening constantly and very erratic boost while the BOV was releasing pressure.

I used the turbo outlet nipple for the MBC source. I am getting a BR LICP and will bring the pipe to the shop to adapt a nipple for that. Just my 0.02 cents!

I agree 100% with not getting your MBC source from the bov line (or any line that will see vacuume and boost...

How about some pics of your guy's MBC installs....

here is my current location. I am thinking about making the lines shorter and moving the MBC closer to the turbo...

Well you have seen mine in person many times but here you go anyway.





And if anyone says dont put it there because of heat you better show me some hard evidence before flaming me. I did a calc on this and I think something like a 350*F difference made the spring expand almost as thick as a human hair. So it wont effect boost or anything as some say.
