Default Diode mod+hpbc question

If I do the diode mod and run a turboxs hpbc while bypassing the n75, can I just turn the psi back down to 9psi whenever I wanted to? Would I still get a benefit like holding boost longer?

if you use the hpbc, you dont want to use the n75, that is the entire reason TO buy a hpbc. The hpbc is smooth and doesnt require use of the n75. Plus you want one boost controller if at all possible. If you bypass, you will be able to no problem, if you for some reason run it inline, then the lowest you could probably run is 10-11psi since it will still bleed of some boost.

I said im gonna bypass it. Im not going to be using the n75, im just asking if I can lower the psi on my hpbc back down to 9psi and If i will still be getting a benefit.
Also, there are 3 hoses going to the n75, so which hoses do I connect to the hpbc and what do I do with the left over hose?

there should only be 2 hoses on the n75, with the third end of the n75 plugged into the TIP. For the MBC, the side end goes to the wastegate and the bottom end to the banjo bolt, and plug the hole on the TIP.

sorry, i was getting sleepy. The wastegate is set to 5psi and you can turn the boost to anything above that with the n75 bypassed
