Ok probably a basic question I know but.....
Can someone give me some help as to where a MBC would be plumbed in, and basically are you taking the pipes from the BCS and fitting the MBC there instead?
I'm wondering if my BCS is iffy and if so do I just buy a Manual Boost Controller instead?
Soz for a basic question, but I'm sure my T5 has more zoom to offer - I just isn't as lively as my T4.
Cheers Mark

Thanked 4 Times in 4 PostsYes, more 'go' is required, just wanted to know a little more about the installation etc. Like I said my T4 has a lot more grunt and 'push you back in the seat' boost so on that basis would suggest the T5 is lacking something? Originally Posted by Rnash2002

As I don't have access to a calibrated boost gauge, is the normal dash mounted gauge reliable and if so, how far into the white should it safely boost? Originally Posted by Rnash2002

Thanked 508 Times in 423 PostsEnd of the white to the right of the gauge is around 1 bar (14.7 psi) Originally Posted by madhouse

Thanked 4 Times in 4 Postsi bought a spec r one off ebay an its awsome, it boost's so much better now it clean if you now what i mean...
was running 0.6 on my boost gauge now its holding 1bar perfectaly all day long an on a cold night will hit 1.1bar but only when i really hoof it, it goes really well now...
follow the insturcions with the MBC when you buy it an just disconnect all the vac hoses to the BCS but leave the BCS plugged in to keep the ecu happy...
HLM told me the 1-1.1bar is fine...

Thanked 508 Times in 423 PostsThats if the car doesnt hit the fuel/boost cut,ive ran T5,s around 14psi and had them hit the cut,think its luck of the draw. Originally Posted by Martin T5
