In cabin mbc

[DanGST]

I was purchasing a in cabin mbc off ebay and wanted to know how to install it. Can someone help me? Also, how to setup the gauges as well.

are you asking how to install an MBC in general or are you asking how to install it inside the cabin once you've made the needed connections in the engine?

Here are some links on how to install an MBC from the tech articles section to get you started:

What gauges are you trying to install? Boost? Gauge installs (and MBCs for that matter) have been covered here a billion times. Hit up the tech guides or run a search and you should find a ton of info. Read it, then come back with specific questions and we can help you out.

Fair warning..

If that's the type of controller that runs a vacuum hose in cabin to the controller (and not like the hallman style cockpit controller with a mechanical wire+sheath) you run a major risk of boost spiking.

I'm actually asking how to route it into the cabin more so. I have no idea how to route it.

You want to have the vacuum hoses as short as possible. Follow the links posted above for the correct way of doing it. You can route the hoses or wires thought a small grommet on the driver side firewall.

Have you even looked at your car? By the steering wheel hub on the firewall there is a rubber grommet you will be able to put it through.

I tried using the hallman in cabin controller and it wasn't nearly long enough. Good luck.

Where did you put the controller?

Where did put put the controller?

If that's directed at me, I was going to mount iit on top of the fan shroud. Tried routing it every way possible. Ended up just mounting it to the center of the fan so the hoses were extremely short and its set up like a regular controller.

I mounted the Hallman on my fan shroud and the cockpit cable was long enough to go around the cam gear cover down into the steering column rubber boot and was mounted underneath my dash by where your right knee would be sitting in the car. Not much room to go anywhere else.

I wanted it mounted in a specific spot. I didn't like mounting it under the dash and even there it wasn't long enough to mount it under the dash where I liked it.
