I did mine using the Line going from the Intake Manifold to BOV and the boost holds perfectly.
This way the lowest I can run is 12 psi which is a good option to have.

This is a great thread / write up.
This is perfect! I was wondering about how complex this type of install was and what it took to complete. This write up is awesome...I will be sure to use this info when I get one of these someday (hopefully soon).
THANKS! This one is a definite subscription!

I've installed quite a few MBCs on evos and will concur with this 100%. I've tried both methods and agree.
Well said!

to fluctuate more with the temperature.
C. Boost seems to be harder to control below 15 psi or
above 22 psi. Almost everyone who wrote me
said this.
D. It is easier to hook up this way. No cutting any
boost lines. Plus the lines are kept shorter.
(Thus the less spikes).
2. Hooking it to the hose between the BOV and the intake:
A. This way seems to give slightly faster spool up than
the other way.
B. It gives more repeatable boost. It doesn't seem to
fluctuate as much with temperature differences.
C. The boost seems to be more controllable down to
stock turbo levels. (Like down to 7 or 8 psi for a 1G
with a stock 14B turbo).
D. It is more work to hook up. You have to cut the hose
between the BOV and intake and tee it in. (Not
that this is hard, its just an extra step so I put it
in here)
E. Both Hallman and Extreme tell you to do it this way

thanks for the writup!!!! i installed my MBC this morning and wow... it's nuts. a whole new evo. the only hard part of the install i'd say was getting the tubing off the wastegate and turbo nipple. it was on there pretty good.
PS
it would be wise to grab some extra , nipple caps, zip ties and tubing from the auto store.... i had extra ties but not enough tubing to mount the mbc on the battery. i have it ghetto rigged right now, im about to get some more tubing. my mbc kit didnt have enough of each

Ok weird problem here, I need help. Installed the boost controller, tapping into the BOV line.
Took the car for a run... goes to 15psi..... then creeps all the way to 20-21psi.
CREEP???? Why the hell would it be creeping? Please help.
Thanks

for evolution users...
1 - where did you mount your MBC under the hood?
2 - where did you drill the hole in the firewall to run the evolution wire?
3 - where did you mount your controller at in the cabin?
pictures would be very helpfull thank you...

I am having the same problems with creeping, spiking, it changes in every gear.
The MBC is mounted right next to the hard line for the BOV along the manifold, close to the upper I/C pipe.
The evolution wire is routed to the groumet behind the glove box.
The controller is not mounted yet. I am just going to leave it hang till I get it just right.
Did everyone use the stiffer spring for the MBC?

I used the turbo outlet > MBC >Wastegate, instead of first coming from BOV line.
Also, I turned the boost way up on my Hallman then down again and the creeping spiking stopped. I was at first creeping... then I went to a newer Hallman and was getting CRAZY spiking... 27psi down to 21-22. Since I just messed with the knob it now only spikes to 22-23 and settles at 21 in an instant.
