Absolutely...
...At least, you can use the MBC (if you already had it, prior to XEDE purchase/installation, like I did).
In my setup, this is how my TurboSmart Boost Controller is installed:
1. Remove the short factory hose that connects the turbo's output nozzle, with the factory-supplied "T" that is close to it (for your reference, the factory "T" also has another short hose that goes to the wastegate actuator nozzle, and another longer that goes to the factory boost control solenoid).
2. Intall your MBC between the turbo's output nozzle, and the factory T. Leave *ALL* remaining hoses intact, including the brass restrictor that is in the *long* hose that goes from the T to the factory boost control solenoid.
3. Now you have complete control over turbo boost, with ample granularity on your adjustments:
- Use your MBC for GLOBAL adjustments of the boost curve/response of your turbo (adjust for 19-20 psi of output at 7,000 rpm in third gear, wot).
- Use your XEDE's mapping software (Xmap) to perform LOCAL or finer adjustments in any particular section/sections of your boost response curve, assuming you already identified the necessary MBC setting for high PSI at 7000 rpm.
That's it. Please, de-tune your XEDE boost map (in the mid-range) BEFORE you pre-adjust your MBC for high-output response. Then come-back to XEDE boost map, and bring boost back-up in the mid-range, in order to "equalize" boost curve and make it flat and smooth accross the entire RPM range.
Happy racing!
