Yes oh yes it does

Well yeah, if you cut the line currently connected to the bottom port of the WG and add the Perrin MBC in line you will be good to go.

Little bit of brain fart on my side.

Edit: Just make sure you connect it with proper orientation.

Are you the one JV set up with boost controlled via ECUtek?

It is either you or Drver I think..

[whitefrs]

My car is tunes good i think.
Im running 7.5 psi at 11.2 afr

My next step will be add the mBC and raise the boost to 9-9.5 psi and do data logs for @Visconti right?
Will 9-9.5 be safe for DD?

Sorry for theeadjacking

Its all in the tune. JV will send you a map good to DD at 9-10 psi.

Read the instructions of the MBC carefully. When ready to install, make sure you see 5 lines and pay attention to a little hole which will guide you to see how much turns you are giving. Give just 1 turn to start, as that is supposed to raise your boost by 1.5 psi and go from there. Lastly, to add boost the turn is clockwise, pushing it IN.

Thanks for your help bud
But do inhave to ask for the map first or raise the boost first?

I would get in contact with John first probably via ticket and tell him what you plan to do, just to make sure you have his blessing. Better safe then sorry.

You welcome and don't worry, no threadjacking. I like all information to be open publicly so anyone can read it and learn a bit. Good luck!!

I have a vacuum manifold, so I cut the line near my manifold:



Basically a line comes from the vacuum manifold into the MBC, and then goes down to the side port on the wastegate.

New actuator should arrive Thursday, lets see how it improves this curves.

Old actuator on top vs. new actuator below. Not good comparison, need to do it again properly, poor me... lol.


@King Tut, did some pulls but obviously not properly.... (didn't have enough road). 3rd gear.

I'm running an EBC from GFB. I thought about swapping over to his setup though. I might in the future.

One last question
Here is a pic of the MBC.
Does it matter what way the ports go?
Like + sign nipple goes to wastegate and - sign goes to vacuumm manifold?
