Turbo XS MBC

[Guzman08]

how does this go connected... bottom is from wastgate and the other can be connected to IC piping near BOV? . post up pics.

on ic pipe close to turbo or on the turbo itself (nipple on compressor).

 

[Guzman08]

its next to the blow off valve near the fuse box. bottom connected from waste-gate accuator. hold up let me take some pics..

 

[afsdsm]

yes but its better on the turbo or as close as possible.

 

[greg90gs]

i used to have one of those (came with the car) and i had nothing but problems with it

 

[afsdsm]

Me too, thats because its a bleeder style mbc. Ball & spring mbc are way better.

 

[Guzman08]

so can i hook it up back to normal, like stock with no MBC. and how.. this is the pic of how its on.. and what problems would u get with it? RED-goes to IC pipe near BOV, and YELLOW- coonected to wastegate accuator. that nipple that sticks out from it.. and the BLUE- is some nipple from the intake that has nothing connected , wondering what goes there. just got car month ago.

 

[afsdsm]

I wouldn't say go back to stock, the way you have it will work just watch for boost creep. And when you can get a good ball & spring mbc. The nipple in the blue circle should be pluged.

looks like you arent recirculating your BOV. I know its HKS and makes and awesome sound, but you might want to reconnect that hose.

Do you have a GM MAF, with a translator?
P
and heres a link to a way to set up your MBC. MBC SET UP

You are correct. Ball/spring MBC's, such as the Hallmann Pro are more precise controllers and you should have better success with them.

However, for the sake of the argument you are making, you should realize that this particular MBC IS a ball/spring type. TurboXS ADDED a bleeder valve to it to help better control boost and eliminate spike.

Second MBC down on the page: Turbo XS - WRX, STi, EVO SRT4, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Turbo, Turbocharged


The OP shouldn't have problems with this controller, if any.

oh well i just got the car and thats how it came. and exactly what hose should i reconnect?
this is the way mine looks, so how would i recirculate it? oh never mind i see.. the red would be the hose connected to intake. and the yellow wold be connected to MBC, and blue to IC pipe, and the purple would stay where it is

You need to buy a BOV recirculation kit for that HKS SSQV. Once you have it, it should be dump back into that little tube sticking up from your intake.

Recirculating your BOV has nothing to do with your intercooler piping. That recirculated air needs to pass through the intake and turbo. The reason being is because your cars ECU is constantly computing the information that it's getting from your MAS (Mass Airflow Sensor RIGHT next to that recirculation tube) to determine the proper amount of fuel mixture to add to that air when it reaches the cumbustion chamber. If you dumped that air anywhere else, without the proper tuning equipment, your car is going to run like total crap.

What nipple on the intake manifold are you using for your vaccuum source (your purple line) ??

 

[Guzman08]

oh. ok.. i will buy the kit from them they have it for about 50 bucks, or maybe just the metal tip.. any thing i can buy at any autoparts store or home depot???

Well you might be able to fab up a little something of your own. The adaptor has an O.D. of 1" so you'll just need to make sure your rubber tubing is 1" I.D. Buy up two hose clamps and you should be golden.

Give it a shot. It shouldn't cost more than $10. Just let us know how it went when you're finished. Possibly put together a tech thread so others can use it for reference in the future.

Here's a picture that you can start with:

Either that or you can just buy the insert from ExtremePSI for $18 and then buy your own hose/clamps from an autoparts store or anywhere you can find it:
