boost???

[realsurfer88]

hey guys finally plus I'd my car. i nstalled my forge motorsports mbc the other day and i cranked it out almost all the way and im still only getting 8.5/9 psi out of it...i ran the mbc between the waste gate and the cold side intercooler pipes... do i need to do it from the compressor hole right before the outlet for more diversity in psi range? or do i need to adjust something/??

hrumm...seems like u need to put it somewhere else. Its supposed to go between the wastegate actuator line and the compressor. good luck

hey guys i finally got it figured...i think the timing is way off....i set the controller higher and once it peaks at like 11 it back fires and bogs down any suggestions

I was running 23-24 last night. :shrug:

you should be able to run 10-12 with the intercooler, the factory spec for intercooled cars iirc was 10 or 10.5

bleh...im so stupid...i was using the overboost switch for the non intercooled model...i just unplugged it and soved a screw driver in it and it boosts fine to 13 for now ...just gotta adjust the mbc thanks bro
