Fake TurboSmart MBC

[forumboarder154]

Has anyone tried one of these and what are the results? There was another thread, but it was not very responsive. DO NOT tell me "you get what you pay for" or "you can't trust stuff of ebay" because you are completely wrong.

They suck and break fast my friend had one and pretty much lasted a month or less just buy a real turbosmart one or turboXs and sometime when you get the ebay ones they are already broke.

I have this exact one installed on my car now, for about a month. The valve itself seems to be working good. The only thing that was crap was the silicone vacuum hose they sent with it. Mine hardened right where it plugged into the t-25 and broke off twice. I switched it with normal vacuum hose, and have had no further problems. Hope this helps...

It took me forever to figure this thing out. Then it was very inconsistant once it was semi functional. Save yourself the trouble and get a Joe P. or a Hallman they're cheap as it is.

i have it on my car and its working fine ( PLEASE NOTE THAT you can install it in one minutes ( ONE MINUTE ONLY ) i am not kidding it needs only 1 minute

disconnect the two hoses that connects to the solenoid underneath the water resrvoir and put them inside the MBC unit ( you are done ) there is a small T left from the MBC package just ignore you do not need ( again its a one minute JOB)



let me know

I bought one and the dial for the spring pressure broke before I even got it on the car, it seized up and I had to use channel locks just to turn it. So I ended up throwing it away... Waste of MY money at least.
