dont even think about turning up the boost. I hope your mbc is set at the lowest setting possible....

If you live in the Southeast, I'll take you up on that offer. Pizza, hell, I'll buy a good steak to make sure this gets done right. I'll actually turn the wrenches (should I say scrape the knuckles?), you just supervise and make sure I don't hook something up backwards and blow up the engine.

I live near Raleigh. I'm going to have to wait until after Christmas to order the parts then get to work on it. Maybe the wife and I will have to visit Charlotte sometime so I can check out your install, if that's okay with you.
She likes a good road trip.

I'm going to be up in your neck of the woods this weekend, Laloosh. Too bad I won't have my MS3 with me, or I'd buy you some beer and food and get to know you a little better...(thinkbeer)

Seriously, thanks for this post. Have you dynoed your car since doing this? Just curious about the gains. I'll try and tackle this once I'm back at work...

does traction / stability control still work if you run a MBC? Not sure since your completely bypassing the stock boost control solenoid....

Compressor housing line to the bottom port of the MBC and side port of the MBC to the wastegate? That's the way it should be. And the second port on the T built into the cap of the wastegate will need to be blocked off, if that leaks you will get too much boost.

Are the MBCs that you are having success with ball and spring or bleeder valves?
