Re: B series Turbo, Help Hooking up Manual boost controller SEARCHED ALREADY ! (xXxIntegra)
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by xXxIntegra »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">SO i have a B16a and i am trying to hook up this TurboXS MBC to turn down the boost just a bit. The instructions say to run the bottom port of the MBC to a boost sorce ( turbo ) and the other that comes off the side to the waste Gate, but There is no hose going from the turbo to the wastegate though, i have a Tial waste, and a T3T4 turbo, And TurboXS BOV, there is a vacume line that comes off of the side of the wastegate and runs into the Intake manifold. Is the vacume line coming off my BOV considered a "boost Sorce", can i just hook it up to that?, I also have a Boost gauge i need to hook up that just has 1 male port on it. Any suggestions or help would be mighty appriciated. </TD></TR></TABLE>

boost controllers only stop boost from goin up, you cant bring boost lower than the wastegate spring psi setting. so anyways connect one side to the wastegate and another to a port on the turbo or a vacuum line.

you cannot turn "DOWN" the boost. you can only turn it "UP" with a MBC. Just leave it off until you want to crank up the psi. otherwise you need to find a new wastegate spring if you have an external, or you can turn the lil nut if you have a internal wastegate. hope this helps and please, search the Forced Induction forum

oh, btw-----you connect the side that is inline with the screw to the IM( or the nipple on the compressor side of the turbo) , and the otherside that is perpendicular to the screw to the nipple on the wastegate

Re: B series Turbo, Help Hooking up Manual boost controller SEARCHED ALREADY ! (Del_Slowest)
Thanks for the quick replys, so with my waste gate, supossedly it is set for 7.5 lbs of boost, i am just real nervous and want to make sure it isnt running too much that is all. I know 7-8 lbs isnt too bad for stock B series, right> Does anyone know where to plug in my Boost gauge for accurate reading? Would i actually splice it into the vacume line off the waste gate with a T fitting or off the BOV, Sorry about all the crazy questions.
