Has anyone tried this method? I just got back from doing thisand did notice a difference in the lack of surging. I wonder if this would help people with mbc's?

 

I havent, but i think i may just do that instead of remove it. It may help mbc's since it no longer controls boost. But i think more people would be happier with mbc's if they moved the boost source from that charge pipe to the intake manifold. The reason is below and i agree with its thinking

From turboXS's webite

Performance Tip
When increasing the boost pressure to higher levels (15 psi or higher), you will get more accurate, responsive and stable boost pressure by using a pressure supply line directly from the engine inlet manifold after the throttle body housing instead of the pressure line from the pressure side of the turbo as stated in step 3 above. By supplying the pressure directly from the engine inlet manifold, pressure effects due to air being forced through the connecting pipes and intercooler are eliminated from the operation of the wastegate actuator system. Ensure any previous pressure supply lines after the turbo are appropriately blocked.

 

it helps trust me...as well as getting rid of the egr and combi valve and SAI deletes.....the SAI alone is key to easy oil changes...even with my HUGE PASSAT oil filter....im not kidding that thing is huge!
