Ok I tried to lower PSI because I was getting fuel cut at top of 3rd etc. Boost gauge was reading just under 14 PSI. turned my MBC counterclockwise... but the PSI seems to have gone up. I was checking out mbc and I might have screwed it up because the screw came out of mbc now I hear stuff moving around inside mbc after I put screw back in. Side of MBC is going to wastegate actuator or w/e and the bottom is going off of blow off valve hose. Anyway, I really just want to go back to stock PSI... Anything special I need to do after removing MBC? I dont know if it matters but it has a 16g. Thanks for your time.
 
I removed MBC and it is boosting past 15 real fast.... any ideas?
Sounds like you're experiencing boost creep.

Do you have a Genuine Mitsubishi 16G on your car, or one of those eBay Chinese junks with the adjustable wastegate actuator?
 
i just took out MBC and connected the hoses... im guessing that wasn't what i was supposed to do... anyone have stock vacuum diagram for idiots maybe? And yea tweek.. i shouldn't have messed with it... but now there is no turning back...

Ok still kind of confused. There is only one hose coming from where turbo is which I thought was wastegate actuator... its under turbo inlet. Where should that one go to? Right now it's Tee'd into BOV hose. I have greddy type s and i had the little nipple tee'd in between wastegate actuator and MBC...

yea.. by the way only thing i'v changed since I bought the car with hoses is Teeing in little nipple for type s when i installed..

Can I just run wastegate actuator hose to small nipple on type s?
 
Does this help? Its how to hook up a boost controller.

If you hook up a vacuum line straight from your wastegate to a boost source(such as the j-pipe) and still experience the problem, then more than likely you are getting boost creep.
 
Ok, guess its time to tap into j pipe because I set it up how it was before and still have the problem and I have MBC screwed out almost as far as possible. so just run the vacuum hose from wastegate actuator to jpipe? With or without MBC? If it is boost creep.. where do i go from there?
Thanks
