ok n00b question here.. i got my MBC all hooked up fine (dejon tool.. sweet!) i'm just wondering what to do with the stock boost solenoid hoses.. i took the top one completely off (this is the one that was going to my intake pipe.. then capped that nipple on the pipe) .. the one on the bottom, that tees off and goes to both the wastegate and the turbo housing, is still there. i just bent it backwards and stuck it in the bracket that the top hose was at.. its still connected to the solenoid though. is this alright? can i leave it on there like that will it screw anything up?

I took mine out completely, as it connects the wastegate actuator(bottom hose) with the turbo outlet(top hose). These nipples now have my mbc hoses on them. I capped the nipple on the intake pipe like you tho. As well, just for esthetics, I took a short piece of hose and connected the two ends of the old boost control solenoid

 

[b00sted99-X]

ahh i see.. so it doesn't matter much what you do with the stock solenoid hoses

i did my install a bit differently from you.. i capped the nipple on the turbo and ran one line to the wastegate.. the other line i tee'd in to the hose coming off the long nipple on my 1G BOV. that's what the directions said on the vfaq and the dejon junx. i guess its either way tho hehehe. thanks. i might just plug the loose line back into the solenoid like u did.

yea, I thought of doing it that way, but for 2 reasons, I chose to do it another way.

first reason is that there are no cut hoses or "t" fittings in my system.

and 2, I can see the whole hose, and get to it very easily where it is. I don't like diggin around when I don't have to.

there are probably more reasons to do it the other way tho, hehe, I'm pretty new to this yet

You can just leave it there, it will not harm anything!!!

I know the procedure is in the clubdsm.com VFAQ's but I can't get in there to give you the link. Look there in a few minutes it might come up.

www.clubdsm.com

under VFAQ's

then under gauges

then under turbo.

hope that helped some.

I need some help on installing my turboxs MBC on my 95 GSX.
I've already read some of the posts by other people, but I still can't
understand how to do it. Do you have to disconnect the boost soloniod
hoses completely? I don't know! It's hurting my brain! STOP!
Can anyone shed some light on the subject.

intake mods: HKS BOV, Injen intake

Disconnect the hose that goes to your turbo,and tees of to go to the wastegate actuator. Cap that nipple of the BCS off.

 

[mitsugsx95]

So do you have to take the BCS out of the cycle?

 

[Silent2g]

alright
here is how to do it

take BOTH hoses from the bcs and pull them off
save them. never know when you might need vacuum line

disconnect the hose on the pressure side of the turbo
cap it off

place a "t" fitting about 5 inches away from the bov line
run that line to the "in" side of the mbc
run the out side to the wastegate actuator

BAM
done

 

[mitsugsx95]

Do I have to plug up the BCS holes?

 

[Silent2g]

you can do what you want with them
plug em, leave em open, doesn't matter either way
mine on my tsi are left open and the bcs is somewhere under the air filter
don't unhook it. just tuck it out of the way

 

[mitsugsx95]

Thanks a lot man. Made my life a lot easier. Bwwaii Yaaaa

 

[Silent2g]

not a problem
have fun
don't blow it up

 

[doug]

You may want to plug the hole in the intake snorkel where one of the original BCS hoses went.

 

[Bohrn]

ok, I hear that several people use the fitting off the turbo outlet elbow to hook up to the "in" side of the mbc, and several others that hook it into the vacuum lin that goes to the blow off valve.

Positives and negatives of both would be apreciated.

Right now mine fits to the turbo outlet elbow.

I recently bought an mbc from a guy and he didn't give any hoses or anything else. Ithought I could just put it on, but I am having trouble trying o get it on. Do I need some hoses or anything like that?

 

[cucumber]

Yes, you need hoses. Go to Home depot or Lowe's and pick some up.

 

[larryd]

two hoses, 4 wire tires and the mbc is what you need.

Anyone know where I can get some plugs for the niplie on the intake and the turbo compressor housing?

Any local auto parts retailer i.e. NAPA, Carquest, Autozone, etc...
