I have the same car as you and i tried running a MBC but it kept going into limp. same symptoms as you and I just took the MBC out and put my race valve back in. are you sure your MBC is calibrated the right way?

blown turbo = cloud of white smoke out the exhaust pipe.

i have a forge 3 prong mbc which i have never turned to dial up or down from the day i got the car with it on it i just moved where it was located last week i did like where it was but i was having boost issues before i moved it. it was set at 18psi which is what my car wants and sometime it would spike at 22psi then drop to 18psi right away. i check around the turbo and exhaust manifold to see if i could feel any leaks and didn't feel any. on my drive to work tonight i could hit 18psi but it is not smooth as it was before i had these issues so i think im going to order a forge unos mbc since right now i have one of the cheaper 3 prong forge valves, so maybe it will smooth it out alittle bit.

Ball and spring mbc and stock turbos are not a great combo.
