1G Installing Grimspeed V2 Manual boost controller?

[Vincent Pandolph]

Why wouldn't I just unplug hose to waste gate actuator, plug that into MBC, and then run the other side back to the waste gate actuator?

Leaving the bcs installed as it was also?

They are showing a bleeder style MBC. Avoid them.

Also I had to buy a longer m10x1.00 bolt and a lock washer to secure the MBC. Once I sort out a bad connection I made when installing gauges I can tune boost. Going for 18 psi, then swapping to 850cc injectors and ECM link

Redid a boost leak test, I pressurized the intake system and used soapy water this time. Found a leaking bis screw oring. Replaced the oring. Also leak behind tps. I'm not sure if the toa has an oring or if it's the tb seal. Going to address it when I change injectors. Also found that the seals in the turbo housing are no good, major leak in turbo. Ordered rebuild kit. Changing to BPR7ES did not stop what I now believe is fuel cut. Took a lot of research and actually looking into the issues to fully understand what's happening. Update to follow..

. Also leak behind tps.

Throttle body shaft seal is leaking. Rebuild the throttle body

New seals

Is this a question? Yes, you need new seals

Looks like photos didn't load. I was able to get new seals locally. I bought 3 pairs if anyone else needs them.
