Quick question what car are we talking about here that's been fitted with the mbc

[volvokid]

Your just jealous because it was done rite

[MoleT-5R]

fitting a MBC will wreck your car m8 my t5 runs at 15psi all day long with out one I did have one on its in the bin now

my cheapo mbc is in the bin and the car is so much faster on the standard bcs, should have bought a couple of packets of fags, least I would have enjoyed wasting £15 and I gave up smoking 16 years ago....lol

I've just got a bleed valve, which is universally said to be crap, and have the second fastest C70 on the forum, so either the bleed valve works better than people say, or I'm an amazing driver, I'll let you all decide.

No I got banned after one of the mods started spouting tripe about how to drive on a track, even though he'd never done it himself, and I told him he was talking utter bollix.

I've always used a bleed valve and use one now to control boost, I find it much less prone to boost spike.

Is this the type of motor?......this was mine about 10yrs ago had a new engine fitted at Volvo. Red block single OHC 1998cc the piston skirts are short on this engine and it had piston slap even when hot like ££££££y hence the new engine which was £1500 + £500 fitting and bits and pieces, done at Taunton Volvo.

I used a Bleed Valve opened 1 1/4 turns and it went like a rocket, they are 160bhp as standard

You will have a cut out at 14psi. standard i ran 13psi

[Cov_Rob]

I've read that the boost you can safely run depends on different things like the rods and ecu type. I'm not sure on either in my car so I'm going to set it at 10psi to be safe, but from what ive heard It seems the red block is a pretty strong engine
