I am going to re-fit it properly when i get some time, making it into a dashboard/centre console mounted valve! so i can adjust it without having to stop and open the bonnet! I will post up full pics etc etc etc when i get to do it! But i must say it makes a HUGE difference to the performance, now peak boost at 1.3 - 1.4 bar and holding constant at 1bar!!!! God knows what it will be like in the wet because it breaks the wheels away very very easily now in the dry!!!!!!!!
    Told you so!!!

    i've yet to find anyone who hasn't been happy with an MBC, but don't dash fit it mate. Their not happy with long pipes & messes things up, keep the pipes as short as possible (just set it to max & keep smiling, no need to mess with it lol)
