DUMB MBC Question?

I just got Buschur Stages 1+2, but the boost gauge was broken in the mail, now i had to send it back and i will be putting all the parts on my car tomorrow.....My question is what do i set my MBC at without the boost gauge-will it run base line boost with it shut off and is it 1 revolution per psi?
Thanks in Advance

set it to the lowest setting, which will run 11 psi. it is not a psi per revolution.

I would just not hook it up until you get your boost gauge. Its easy enough to hook up at the same time as your boost gauge. Better safe than sorry.

Definatly not. Be smart about it and what to do the mbc till you get your gauge in. The install on the mbc is very easy and won't take up much time

Very true i would just wait and do them at the same time. just incase the mbc may spike a huge amount for some reason atleast you would know

if its unscrewed all the way, you would be boosting to wastegate..an option until you get the gauge in the car

Autometer SportComp is actually a very nice gauge for the money.

u should just wait till u get the gauge...so u can install both at once. saves time

but if u must u can install the mbc and have it unscrewed very loose or just dont boost at all then u would have no problems

Just wait until you get the guage in. What if you put the mbc in and you dial it wrong or it malfunctions. You will be very sorry then. Just get a new gauge and put everything in at the same time. Better safe than sorry.
