Well, after the cars worst week ever (engine death and gearbox caused by a shaft) within a week is over....can now start getting the car boosting like it should with the MBC/n75 setup.

God, after nearly 2 weeks of not driving anything remotely quick, acr feels like a weapon again now

Shall keep thread updated with the N75/MBC setup logs etc.

sweet, was wondering where you had gone lol

[jamie16v]

wicked, did you actually get down to the cause of the problem?..

[Dave_IOW]

Good to hear your back 

[Chris.]

Which problem?  The boost or the driveshaft?

Anyhow....turned the boost up on MBC by 2 turns today, drove home and no more soft limp mode....buzzing!!!

Might be going on set of rollers tomorrow up here so be interesting to see what it makes.

[jamie16v]

the shell bearings,

[Chris.]

Nah not yet...havent really had time to have a look at it, apart from a quick glance.  First suggestions are oil from how it come out the engine!

[Chris.]

 Stuck it on set of rollers this morning. 

225bhp but was dropping into limp mode.  He didn't want to run my mbc/n75 setup as he thought it was poor and would cause turbo to boost away and away.  

[Chris.]

Had a run....not running right.....The car was dropping into soft limp mode causing no boost at all....as shown on the boost vs power graph.

I offered to put the MBC/n75 setup in but the guy from PDTuning (now renamed to sedox Performance...) said it was the wrong way to do it and it would just keep boosting and boosting.....pfft.

225bhp in limp mode....LOL

Is this going to turn into a build thread?
