Help installing Joe P MBC

[oplix]

Ok so I tried to search but I couldn't find a post showing how to install a Joe P. So I bought a Joe P IL MBC and im trying to install it. I was wondering if someone could help me out. The MBC only came with the mounting bracket, nothing else. Could someone possibly tell me which lines to tap it into? I know it's usually the wastegate actuator line but I'm trying to figure out if I need to seal anything off and if I need to remove any stock parts.

thanks Pictures would be great also.

"cut your pressure source to wg actuator hose & install the mbc with the shorter half of the body as the inlet, longer as the outlet. If you are looking at either end clockwise is to increase boost, counter clockwise to decrease" - daren p

Run it between the J-Pipe and the Wastegate Actuator....Also, for the 2gs I believe you have to leave the bcs plugged up. Hope this helps!

In Derek's MBC guide (the first link that was given to you) you'll see my own Joe P. It's pretty simple.

ok I had a question. my wastegate actuator line splits between the compressor housing and the BCS I believe? Anyway can I eliminate the BCS line or do I still need it after I install the MBC?

Just throw those old raggedy lines away and never ever look back. Just look at the photo.

Ok after about 3 hours of tuning with everything from CELs to shitty idle from forgetting to plug MAS back in I finally got it rock solid at 14PSI on a pretty stock car except for intake and BOV. The only thing is that I think something is bottlenecking the increased PSI because I didn't notice too much of a difference from stock. (most likely exhaust or the stock turbo)

On a t25, I can feel a night and day difference from 10psi to 14-15. The turbo wakes up and likes it there. However, that difference is felt from torque, not really much more horsepower. I've seen graphs of 30-35lbs of torque gained but only 5-10 hp gained.
