okay so i installed my mbc exactly the way that its shown on slowboys site. when i first put it on my car...it was stock...with the exception of some of my autometer gauges. anyways...it still read the same on my boost gauge as it did before the install. so after i get my full exhaust done i noticed that i was holding 12psi now...where before it was 10. so i was like alright lets turn it up to like 14. so i go out and turn it clockwise like your supposed too...and my boost goes back down to 10. and then no matter what way i turned it....it still was at 10. well i thought maybe it had something to do with my cracked turbine housing. so i bought the 7cm upgrade housing and put on it. and so i took it for a ride, and all my lag was finally gone and i was spiking like 14-15lbs and holding 12. so again..i go out to the mbc and try to obtain the 14lbs that i wanted to hold. and again it ends up spiking 10 and holding 8.?!? and now i cant seem to get the boost back. i even hooked the stock bcs back up and same thing happens...also i tried just disconnecting the wastegate and i should have boosted like 18lbs...right...well i couldnt crack 8lbs! i know that the ball and spring inside the mbc are in their rite order as i had talked to the guys at slowboy about this and they really couldnt offer any help. has anyone out there had this kind of problem with a mbc...ro something related? i dont know if my wastegate is bad or what the deal is. please guys any help is greatly appreciated. sorry so long
