Default MBC problem.. Please

I have this boost gauge but I don't understand why I am getting way above 20psi.. 20psi and drop to 11psi or just 11 psi.. before the install I was holding at 15psi. Please me tell how this needs to be hooked up!!! The "how to hook up a MBC" thread doesn't really help with this MBC, Should I leave in the n75? Any help would be great thanks!

It's the MBC. I had one and it was causing major problems! Get rid of it and get something different!

Same to you!!


I've heard bleeder valves are the best for our car, very little spiking.. Where could I get one?

electronic boost controlers are best for your car. If you get one with 2 solenoids you won't get any spiking. but you're looking at $700-$800 for that. however, you can program a boost, it will shoot to that PSI, and stay there with VERY LITTLE variation througout the RPM range. If I were you, or anyone else, I'd lose the MBC and save your money for an electronic one. Just my humble opinion. The other thing about the electronic ones is that they are programable, so if you wanna run normal boost most of the time, and just juice it when some A$$ in a honda thinks he's fast, you can do that.

Turboxs has one thats just a bleed and one thats both a bleed and ball&spring mbc. I have the combo valve and it works perfect. Smooth as can be and i dont run the n75, just mbc alone. A ball&spring mbc alone reacts to fast for the small turbo but if you install the mbc after the n75 its smoother. The n75 will control the boost to whatever the ecu sets it for and the mbc will control boost after that.
