Turbo XS Dual MBC

[16GTSI]

Interested in buying one of these for my daily driver so i could cruise or launch (fwd) at 8 psi then switch to 16 psi for the power. Anyone have one? If so how do you like them? Are the worth the money? Shout-out your product review, i want to hear what people have to say.

I have one, mine is set at 12 and 17. Fun to use but have to switch before making the run not during the actual run. For some reason when I swich during the run, my fuel ratio get fu*** up. Other wise very usefull.

 

[talonted_one]

well the guys in my group arent having very much luck with those boost controllers.

 

[16GTSI]

Interesting......anyone else have bad experiences??

 

[16GTSI]

WRCRUZ - were you using a afc or not?? I am not planning on upgrading injectors or running an afc. With this setup wouldnt the dual mbc work fine for me?

 

[wrcruz]

Yes, I have S-AFC II with 600cc injectors and the 2gMAS along with a long list. It will probably work fine for you. I have no complaints about it. Is just that swiching at mid race for me is not ideal.

Mine worked great

I put the switch in the console and mounted the controller under the radiator hose.

I think it would be cheaper to do a solenoid from radio shack and then a Dawes or Hallman MBC for a home made dual stage, $150 is a lot but the Turbo XS does work well.

Mine is tight. Side by side with a mustang gt. (Automatic FWD) The tree goes down. Come out of the 3 psi powrbrake, launch, mustang pulls a little, 12 psi, Hit the switch on the dead pedal, blah! Mustangs in the rear view, no spin, no better feeling, its great. Now if i had something bigger than a TD04 we would really be in buisness.

 

[16GTSI]

i am gonna be running fwd and 16psi. thats why i really want one.

 

[dsmturboawd]

screw turbo x$, make your own dual stage for 5 bucks. yes 5 dollars!

 

[16GTSI]

is there instructions on vfaq or anywhere else?

I've been using my Dual Stage from TurboXS and it was working great, but now after the motor swap I just had done, it kind of bunked out on me. Hopefully the shop that did my swap didn't drop it or anything. So I don't know if those things are extra fragile, but either way they are really cool for FWD DSMers.

Mine worked fine for awhile... although the wastegates on our turbos only allow a minimum of 10psi. But lately it has started to mess up... sometimes i will flip the switch and it won't go into the second stage. I've checked my connections and everything is tight. But every now and then it will stay in the first stage, not good when you line up and can only get 10psi. I've heard the the dual stage ones made by dejon tool are better, but I don't have any experience when them.... yet.

thats cause the car needs more fuel at xx PSI. if you have a ramchargers MAFT and a DSMBC (me) you can hook a wire up to the MBC switch and have it add more fuel when you flick the DSMBC switch. its quite handy then.

my min PSI is 12

thats my MBC (if u wanna run minumum boost for one setting, just get the low/hi). i prefer the med-hi thou. good product too

 

[wrcruz]

My fuel ratio is good at the two settings. I have a pokect logger everythig is good. I think it has to do with the sudden change.

 

[16GTSI]

Well... i want to have to settings at something like 8-10psi and 16-18psi. I wont be running injectors or an AFC, so will the ECU take care of the change between boost, or will my car run rich/lean when switched between the two settings?

Also i know looks arent everything but the dejon tool mbc looks a litlle janky......how does it work???

Anyone found cheaper than 190$ for turbo XS Dual MBC?

 

[nineD5_GS-T]

I have one on my 95 GS-T with a 16g plus supporting mods. You wont regret buying one. I have mine set to 13 and 17. 13 for launchin and 17 for the rest of the time. Sometimes on the highway you can play with people at 13, wave at em, then switch to 17.

I got mine for like 170 on ebay and its a great piece.

 

[Tallen]

just buy a dejon one, .
is the blingy worthless brand name one better? hah, NO. save your $ for something more important.

 

[16GTSI]

Well...I have gotten a lot of good replys from you guys on both ends of the deal. Thats the bad part! I still cant decide. I want to go 8-10 lbs for cruising/launching and 16-18 lbs for the real power.

So lets break it down. Turbo XS DMBC, or Dejon Tool med-hi DMBC?
We know what is cheaper but what is better overall? I will pay the extra $ for reliablility.

 

[16GTSI]

Ordered the turbo xs DMBC. Yeah i realize i spent a lot of money on it but i dont care . Can always sell it if i dont like it. Wont be able to tell you guys how it works out for me untill i put my new engine in, and do the wiring for it, and get my diff. welded, and do the rest of the body work, and get the car painted, so uhhh yeah it might be a while
