Started off with one of those red r-spec one's fully wound in and with Smithy watching the boost gauge for me fead the power in in 2nd and it went to 1.5bar and that was on 1/2 throttle, checked the mbc and was fully closed so nicked the nice forge one off Smithy's car lol and running lovely and holding 1.3 bar in 2nd and 3rd.

Think im addicted to the aggression.

Just got to buy smithy a replacement now.

Still running the remap with it and that keeps the fuel nice and loaded i.e if i lift off in second or third i get flames in the exhaust from the un-burnt fuel, i know this because my mrs told me when we were having a little race lol.

I put my mbc back on, as I was away in Wales recently and the remap wasn't aggressive enough and is dropping off boost at critical points during overtaking at WOT (until I can be bothered to edit the maps) so I plumbed it back in on the campsite LOL, mmmmmm boost. Plus I like being able to choose how much boost I want with my right foot

[leet5r]

once my other engine is built al let yous know how much boost kills the rods a fancy 22psi with the mbc lol

Make sure you get a aftermarket boost gauge aswell,and dont run no more than 14psi max on a standard map.

Used MBC's on Rover turbos in the past. Issue wasn't as such the pressure (as MEMs killed all power at 14psi anyway) but the transmission. MBC basically removed any torque limiter from 1st and 2nd gear which would kill the gear boxes in time (though 80,000 miles between rebuilds wasn't to much hardship). Great agressive acceleration though :-)

Perhaps your car is knackered?

One way to find out is fit an MBC and watch it go pop (for ever)

I suggest a good Stage 0 and checkover of all your pipework.

Well thanks for that, are you going to elaborate on your findings? Or do you have a vocabulary limited to only four letter words?
