Yo guys! :D Ive got a few things to sort out on the ole gal before I actually start doing anything, but I was just wondering what "can" be done for a few extra ponies. Obviously I can get a rica ecu, is it advisable to then fit a MBC and crank it up a few lbs? Long term plans will be a custom zorst and tighten her up with polybushes and braces (is a big ole barge afterall!) Also what turbo is standard on my car? Cheers DOODS!
if you have long term plans leave the mbc off mate, and it will have an 18t
Is it a manual or an auto? If its an auto i'd stay away from an mbc. auto+mbc=bent rods
[QUOTE=LiamT4;566487]Is it a manual or an auto? If its an auto i'd stay away from an mbc. auto+mbc=bent rods[/QUOTE] its a manual but i'd still say no mbc lol
I'm wet behind the ears here but what's mbc? Also heard a few of you talk of a rip kit? I feel like an amateur! Lol

Right.... Cheers for that. Understand both mods, just the avbreviations had me lost. Lol
[QUOTE=Biff;566497]Also heard a few of you talk of a rip kit?[/QUOTE]
fitted to early T-5's the pipework is alot shorter & straighter
From what I've read it slightly improves throttle response? As for a manual boost controller I've had experience with a bleed valve & I'm leaving that §§§§ well alone!!! Lol
[QUOTE=Biff;566507]From what I've read it slightly improves throttle response?[/quote] its a noticable difference
As for a manual boost controller I've had experience with a bleed valve & I'm leaving that §§§§ well alone!!! Lola proper MBC is alot better than a bleed valve, i'd still be using one if i hadn't upgraded to a EBC (electric boost controller)
I had an electronic one on my primera gti-r. Was good fun but for my needs now I think a remap will suffice. I'll look into the rip kit though, if it makes that much difference for cheap £ I'll be happy.
Why am I best not to use an MBC? I used a forge unos MBC on my old 940, nice bit of kit but was around £110

I only used mbc on my 1st 850 for a little bit,good spool up but better safe than sorry for a daily drive so stick to standard 1.

Blanks off the standard re-circ mate.
The chutter is nice I`ve heared it in merc85`s car also a good DV like frankie has is good,either way u have to blank it off.
Why do u have to blank it off?? So if i buy a blankin plate it will chatter? :-D
[QUOTE=Palmer;566512]Why am I best not to use an MBC? I used a forge unos MBC on my old 940, nice bit of kit but was around £110[/QUOTE] it brings all the boost in in one go therefore bending the ods is alot easier, ive done 3 engines with my forge unos, is it still on my car?....hell yeah! lol
[QUOTE=Palmer;566528]Why do u have to blank it off?? So if i buy a blankin plate it will chatter? :-D[/QUOTE] because the car already had a recirculating valve on the turbo, this needs to be taken off and replaced with a blanking plate to get the wastegate chatter
[QUOTE=Palmer;566528]Why do u have to blank it off?? So if i buy a blankin plate it will chatter? :-D[/QUOTE] U remove the recirc valve and fit a blanking plate and it will chatter,if u want u can fit a DV .
Ahh im with ya now lol. Where u get one from?
Yeah, it won't dump (with a dv) or chatter with the standard re-circ on fella.
[QUOTE=Palmer;566538]Ahh im with ya now lol. Where u get one from?[/QUOTE] Ebay,and there was someone on here doing them very cheap. [QUOTE=Biff;566541]Yeah, it won't dump (with a dv) or chatter with the standard re-circ on fella.[/QUOTE] DV is ok and with a chutter I know merc85 had it for well over a year with no probs but I wonna do a DV to gather all the chavs around lol

My silicone hoses came with the DV outlet (although I asked without) so we plugged the hole with a dv that looks like a blue dildo! Sounds alright though for now, still arguing with sfs at minute. Any idea who makes the plates? I've bought a forge job but my mate has an old c70 t5 he's on about making legal again.

Bloody hell I'm not suprised. 9 years ago you say? What power is that 20psi? I take it that was a chip & bleed valve, power boost valve etc. things have changed a lot since I was last modifying my car. I can't help it with this though, always wanted a t5.
