ok... so it says to turn the screw clockwise to adjust boost. the screw is long and i can pretty much turn it counter-clockwise til it comes off. daym i dont know where to start. any suggestions from those who have a joe p mbc in their boosted rides?!

ALSO... when i install the mbc... do i need to adjust my wastegate spring all the way up? all the way down? or just leave it where it is?

Just leave the wastegate, dont need to do anything to it. The MBC modifies the air flow. Bottom port goes to the wastegate side/vac port. the side of the MBC goes to the vacuum/boost source.

Turn right to tighten it/ more boost.

The more you tighten, the harder it should be to blow through the side barbed fitting on the MBC.

the spring in my wastegate is already set halfway. what would happen if i adjusted it all the way up or down with the mbc installed? just curious...

come on guys.. someone has to know the answer to this one!

this is a good mbc... i got it on now and the turbo spools pretty damn quicker when i mash on the gas. upped it from 5lbs to 7lbs. its tight!

ok so then do you wanna let us know how you knew where ont he screw 7 pounds was??? hehe... what did you have before? just the wastegate?

why does everyone rave about teh Joe P and u never hear anyone mention the hallman? doesnt the hallman work as good as the joe p or what?

hehe i just turned the screw into the fitting 3 times just to give me an idea where to start. locked the nut, installed the vacuum hoses, and took it to the street. i boosted 6-7lbs consistently at WOT. i guess as long as you dont screw it in too far at first, its automatically what the wastegate spring is set at. i just left it as it was when i first tightened it and went to the track the same day. hehe

i just had the setting of the spring on the wastegate. i had a profec b but i sold it cuz i needed money. i like the joe p... it works.

well the hallman seems to be a newer mbc. not many people have em.. thats why. joe p mbc is pretty popular and its been out there for along time. the hallman is a little bigger than the joe p. i was told that the spring is not as stiff as the joe p spring but both worked great. i didnt wanna take the chance of gettin the hallman... so i got what is already proven to be one of the best mbcs out there.

Turbo Laser

Is the Joe P stiil $50 shipped? Helluva good deal.

DigitalFusion

i c.. thanks for the info.. maybe ill be the guinea pig for the hallman

SIK IN DA HED

yup. i like the way it works. seems to spool faster than the profecB i used to have.


Customcockpits,
try out the hallman and let us know how it works.

website to get a joe p mbc?

teamrocket si

I have a hallman mbc. I am impressed with it, holds boost steady. No need for a ebc for now.

its all a matter of preference. i know one thing is for sure... the joe p mbc has a dual ball spring design that prevents overboost. the turbo xs mbc doesnt. for more info on both.. go to http://www.boostcontroller.com and http://www.turboxs.com

The only difference i see between the Joe P and the Hallman is that one comes with an adjustment tool and the other has a ****.....other than that they look the same.

racerxadam

i'm pretty sure that the turbo xs mbc is a bleed type boost controller rather than a ball and spring type, like the joe p or hallman

SIK IN DA HED

Turbo XS also offer the HP MBC which is a ball and spring type. those run for $129.
