Default Anyone else running the StreetRays "Greddy look alike" MBC?

I had this installed on my car, and have found that it is the crappiest MBC out there.

I have a tial 38mm with a 9psi spring.

connected too the side port...
Adjusted all the way in...9psi.
Adjusted at a 360deg turn... 20+

Connected too the top port...
Adjusted all the way in...20+
Adjusted all the way out...20+

So in conclusion...it's either the wastegate pressure of 9, or just like having the boost line connected straight too the wastegate = Boost Controller is useless

I tried 10 times to get 12lbs...but it was either 9, or 20+, no inbetween.

Anyone else?

When you had it hooked up to the top port you had the side port hooked up to a vaccum source right? I had a real greddy tvvc boost controller and I had it hooked up to the top port. That thing held boost perfectly.

Nope. The instructions did not say that.

I guess I'll try that out.

I'm pretty sure he just had it hooked up inline with the vac line going to the side port of the wastegate.

I have the standard turboxs boost controller now and it doesn't work so great. It will shoot up to 10psi, but by redline its back down to 8psi ..it can't hold steady boost even with the vac line hooked to the intake manifold and not the compressor. Do you think the high performance boost controller would fix this?

ok well, I hooked it up so the theres a vac source too the side port of the WG.

Seems to work a little better. Its still sensetive as hell.

I did a log on the Hondata, and the boost seems like its rising in proportion too RPMS.

I think I'm buying an electric.

Hey guys, check out http://www.project-turbo.com and try asking the manufacturer directly..

we are planning to stop carrying this as too many customers are complaining about it..

we are also currently getting one of our cars to try this unit out.. to see what's up with it..
