boost controller

[Hybusamini]

Will I gain anything by getting a manual boost controller for a 15 g turbo?

[the-man-that-can]

Not an expert! But any car I've been in and had that's had one fitted made a HUGE difference! I have not long ago bought a MBC for my 855 t5r (not fitted yet) but fitted one to my previous 854 t5r and it made a massive difference and was the best thing I ever done to the car in my eyes :) just be careful and don't turn it up too high! HAPPY BOOSTING :D

Firstly is your car mapped??

An mbc basically let's you control how much boost you have but unlike a map it's there almost instantly therefore some restraint is required with the load pedal ie not flooring it till 3k, you have less chance of bending a rod with a 15 but it's still possible, oh and your gonna need a decent boost gauge as well

Wat boost did u take it up to mate mines running 1 bar?

yes my car is mapped mate its running 1 bar

You will get away with 1.2/3 ish

Usually find the 15g will run out of puff at around 5,200rpm and will struggle to hold a high boost ie 20psi ;)

But yes you will notice a difference lol

Don`t forget what MBC stands for

M-may
B-bend
C-conrods

[Hybusamini]

Don't think I will bother

[T5frankie]

An mbc will bring in the boost earlier but you will lose top end push, they are alot of fun though with instant boost

[t5 pete]

As said above and tbh the car will drive better with just the map as the map and boost controller with the 15g will just give you lots a wheel spin then little power after that better to have a nice steady curve for the power coming in

is there top end push with a 15g then ?? lmfao

[T5frankie]

good point lol

I once had car and fitted an mbc with a 15g running at 22psi............................................. ..................its dead now lol

[Hybusamini]

Thks for the advice but I think im gonna leave it sounds like a car killer

[LiamT4]

When i had an mbc fitted, it was fantastic in traffic because of its instant boost. Many people have used them without bending rods, you just have to be sensible.

[T5frankie]

I've never used one :uglyhamme

Corrected for you mate. ;)

[claymore]

I've always used them and haven't bent a rod

your will power is stronger than most ;)

[stribo]

You have split a liner though. ;)

[caseyt5]

I was always on the understanding don't boost them to low down I always floor it past 3k anyway 1st / 2nd is pointless in a T5 lol

[claymore]

You have split a liner though. ;)

True, but I wrongly assumed that my built engine had shimmed liners, and it was at 2.5bar......lol

[Hybusamini]

U got me thinking now lol 13 psi is that safe or not?

[claymore]

U got me thinking now lol 13 psi is that safe or not?
yes, you should be ok at 16psi, I run my car at 18psi with an 18t

[caseyt5]

Yes, is it mapped?

[caseyt5]

You beat me to it colin lol

[Hybusamini]

Yes m8

[Hybusamini]

Are they easy to fit and set up?

[claymore]

Are they easy to fit and set up?

About 5 minuts :)

[caseyt5]

Yes m8

Would of thought it would be fine at 1 bar mapped as its getting the correct fueling, thought that was the whole reason for bent rods too lean low down? or am i being stupid?
