MBC Install - somthing doesnt look right
« on: 30 September 2014, 01:14 »
Guys i need some advice, this is the digram i have come up with for installing the manula Bosst Controller,

buti cant cant figure out why the T Peace is needed or if it is is my diagram wrong



The Ball and spring is in the "T" but i dont see how the dial controles it... and is the T actually needed, can i just need run the controller between the wastegate and turbo housing?

Normaly i can look at these things and figure them out, but if connected them up on the bench and ran a foot pump to the controller and some hoses with a gauge to see what happens.

i can controll using just the controller, buti can make any changes in pressure using the T?

Please Help!!

why are you wanting to run an MBC in the first place?

I need to mkae sure the N75 hasnt died.... so this was supposed to be a quick plumbin and test to see if i get the same reults or if the boost holds steady, if steady then i know the N75 needs replacing.

I need to fix this quick as its booked in at R-Tech on th 7th for a stage 1

be quicker to get someone local to swap an N75 with for 10 minutes, and cheaper.
If the N75 was faulty you would have a fault code

Yes that is the correct setup. Also a faulty n75 doesn't always give a fault code. If you set the MBC too high your  car will keep hitting limp mode

Dude, that would have been cool... but my N75J has arrived :)

and i found that with heatsoak the valve was sticking and a blown breather pipe allowing in air pass the MAP... All sortedand she runns like a beast :D

so ool, ive even boughter her a new badge "The Interceptor" and after Tuesdays trip to R-Tec she truely will be...

I have such big plans for her, she will eat Ford's, Mig's and Scoobys for breakfast

Also gave up with the MBC as i could not get the damn thing to regulate boost, no matter how or where i installed it :/
