weird problem

just finished installing a forge mbc and i took the car for setting it up with knob on the lowest boost possible, so i moderatly start acelerating watching the boost and it only reached .5 and suddendly a swoosh like a bov but i only have a stock and then car lost power. Now it only reaches 1.5k and looses all power. Is this boost leak or something with the computer. Note* i put the maf sensor back on the intake so that probably is not a prob

Nothing would happen since its disconnected from the system.

The caps are simply to keep the unit internally clean.

I really hope you mean tuned for 22psi or 24psi.

You better think about fuel requirements too before you just go turning up the wick and start running lean, remember you have to fuel that horsepower

I would slap in a fuel pump before trying to run 24psi.

PS. Nice sales rating

regarding the sales rating just look for boycut and youll see why the "scammer" that i uncovered for our fellow members put my rating. thanks for the comment ps. is not really a sales rating is a buyers rating and i dont cheat no one ask 8th wonder who was the one that posted here before and he sold me the mbc. Just ask the moderators they are investigating the matter. I dont like that type of sarcasm even if it comes from a respected member.
