Hey fellas!
So tonight I did a few things to my car. Nothing to serious. I took off the smic and cleaned it (I used gas and it came out looking real dark) and I then cut the bov dump tube and finally installed a MBC.
So I went to do a few pulls and set the psi where I wanted it. I started at the lowest possible setting and I was at the same psi before I installed it which was 13. So I then tightened it up and again it was at 13. I ended up tightening all the way down and it was hitting 14. So I'm assuming the cheap MBC I got off amazon is crap? The vacuum hoses I used are a little bit smaller then the stock ones but they werent very hard to put on. Idk if that could affect anything. I used the nipple on the turbo and the the nipple on the waste gate actuator.
The real problem that came though is when doing the few pulls my car seemed as if it wasn't getting enough air or getting too much air. I couldn't really tell. It almost felt like small backfires but they weren't. I don't have any boost leaks. I have a stock bov but was gonna set the psi to 12 and just keep it mellow until I get a uicp and a different bov. But I do not understand whats happening. I would do it the worst in first and second gear and when at full boost. Doesn't do it all when I'm not at wot. Ill be the first to admit I that I don't know shit about cars and what not but I doubt its the dump tube mod and assume it has to be the MBC. Also i left the bcs where it was and just kinda pushed the bcs vacuum lines to the side. I don't know what to do with them.
Please help me figure this out. You guys always help me out. Thanks a lot in advance.
