4kthose with a TURBO XS boost contoller.....
i hooked mine up and it seems like it takes alot longer to boost. does anyone have that problem?
i use to start boosting around 4k...now with the boost controller its around 5.5k. did you have to adjust anything?
my set up

drag 3
garrett t3/to4e

how long is the line? If the line is longer, it will create boost lag rather than help "decrease" it. I hope you didn't route the MBC into the cabin of your car

How is it hooked up? and of course you have to adjust it, they are not set for any specific aplication , you normally have to turn the allen screw out till you , get to the bleed threshold, then, when you turn it out any more it will raise boost, just being oinline with the turbo and wastegate will raise boost the slightest bit with a manual controller. Make sure it is hooked up, and adjust it , should boost earlier. Jason

try going through your lines and look for any leaks or cracked hoses, make sure you had the initial setup correct (liek someone said earlier), etc.
thanks,

isnt the hose from the BC suppose to go to the top port of the w/g? and the side port goes to the manifold.??
