MBC woes

[dunkyfried]

I have a plain ole joe p MBC and recently, last 2 months, it wont regulate boost at all.... I dont have my FP or afc in yet so I cant afford to have the boost go past 12-13psi. No leaks, the ball in the mbc isnt sticking, hooking it to the bov line or the turbop outlet makes no difference. Do you guys have any other ideas. I havent been able to get on my car in months now....ahhhhh

I would have bought a new MBC by now. 2 months of messing with that thing....F' that!

Just get a boot leg one of ebay, they work fine and are cheap.

I decided that I am gonna start from scratch and get all new vac. hoses...but where do I find them? Do most auto parts stores carry this stuff? what ID and OD do I buy?

they will have it at autozone or advanced auto. just cut a 1" piece off the existing piece and take it there, they will give you what you need.

nice...so if I can move the wastegate arm manually (kinda stiff) but connecting the turbo oulet nipple directly to the wastegate results in 20+ lbs ..is it shot?
