Had Hallman Pro MBC Installed

I had my mbc installed at Super Autobac's in Stanton, CA. They installed it inside my car by my right leg. It's not in the way and I like it there but wasn't it supposed to be installed in the engine bay. I know there is another Hall pro with a kit that can be adjusted from the inside, but this one is not it. I trying to find out if I should have it reinstall in the engine bay because I was told by some else thet the hose's on the boost controller were supposed to be as short as possible. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

You're right. Lines should be as short as possible. That's a bad install.

Thats weird bro...they must of made that line really long and will decrease the MBC boost response...

I had my car aligned there,they seem pretty good,my hose is less then 2 feet right under the intake snorkal...its the perfect spot...

A MBC install is super easy,you could have done in in 30 minutes save some dough...

No big deal but it should be in the engine bay....

make it shorter,in the engine bay... even in my hallman instructions its says to not make the line long...

thats why hallman makes a wire adjustment connector for inside the car instead of long tubing

hallman

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have it relocate into the engine bay. I haven't had any problems with it yet. It's holding boost but I won't risk it. thanks again.
