Default Double checking MBC

Just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything for the install... All I really need to do is install the the MBC between the turbo and n75.. take off the hose at the n75, use the stock hose connect to MBC and get another piece of hose and connect it back to the n75.. Missin anything?

as always thanks for the help guys!!

I plan on using this:

(and to save time, Yes i'm already chipped, boost and air/fuel gauges will go in first, and i'm installing a water/alcohol injection system so no worries)

please no ball and springmbc's with stock or ko4-15 turbos. You will hate life. They are no where near as smooth as a bleed/gated valve. Do it right the first time and get a bleed valve and you can forget the n75 altogether. If you want to save some $$, get a turbosmart knock off. My brother has the incabin version and it works great. It was ~$20 shipped.

ball and springs do not mix well with a small ko3/4 turbos. Something like a gt28r or larger, it would be great. When my mbc is set more on ball and spring, it gets choppy and when its mostly bleed, it is super smooth. Its mainly do to how much faster it reacts than a bleed valve. Also ball and springs are prone to spiking where bleeds dont.

What do you mean forget it all together? I'm guessing you mean replace it with that little 3 prong job. will that make me throw a Cel? And how would I go about installing it? Thanks so much for the help.. this is awesome!

Don't bleeder's cause turbo lag? To be honest they are both very cheap.. I might start with a MBC if it is choppy like you say and has High spikes I can always switch over to the Bleeder. we are talking like $20 and I can just put the other one right back on Ebay.

actually now the more I read up I'm liking the bleeder better.. I don't want choppy boost and high spikes.. Even if a bleeder does cause lag which i'm sure it is very slight in compairison to a ball spring I'd rather have it be smooth..

So could you give me some info on how to install this in my car?
