MBC- Question

[dsm03]

Of course this topic has been through over and over, i did search for answers and found to come across one where a guy had said the "dont get the turbonetics" but didnt say why not to. Unfortunately for me i had already just purchased it off ebay..is it not a good one??? or will it work just fine???

 

[dsm03]

anyone??

Believe it or not, it might take more than 22 minutes before someone who knows the answer to your question finds your thread. Don't bump your threads.

Also, it would help if you were more specific about the MBC you bought, and what made you decide to get it.

Although i have no idea what MBC you have. A good idea would be get the model and search on google. I'm sure someone out there other than the dsm community has touched this subject.

On another note It's a Turboneticz. Depending on the price you payed and who you bought it from it could be a knockoff. If you want good quality parts buy from a reliable dealer.

I've never seen that kind before, and I'm not even sure how it's supposed to work.

Don't tee it into your BOV line. Let us know (if) how it works for you.

 

[dsm03]

will do, and yeah sorry about earlier didnt mean to piss anyone off..

It just looks like any other boost controller with an inlet and an outlet. I doubt it is a ball and spring MBC, and if it is, it has a huge spring in it, or some kind of plate on both sides of it. Install will be just like any other MBC, install it and see if you get any issues. Sorry, I can't be of any further help, don't know anyone with that MBC.

It looks similar the air pressure regulator i have on my air compressor in my basement. That one is just smaller and slightly simpler. If it is, it isn't a bleeder. Tell me how it works ### i'm thinking of taking one from my air tank adding fittings and trying it on mine.

Yeah friend got that same model. It is a variable boost controller and supposedly a Turbonetics. However I don't believe it made by Turbonetics. I've seem it before and it is no imprint on it and the instruction manual isn't even Turbonetics.

No. It is an off-the-shelf $15 pressure regulator sold by Grainger, and probably others...right down to the molding detail in the plastic.
