Go to Buschur Racing. I bought my MBC for 83 bills OTD and brought me from 6PSI to 14PSI. Pay a little more for a high quality, high output MBC

1st one is the way someone on the club told me to do it

I think you might have the MBC hooked up backwards, the nipple across from the knob goes to the booth source (Turbo Housing for you) and the other one to the WG..I think...

The TurboXS mbc's are bleeder styles, and you're thinking about ball-and-spring! :thumb:

AFAIK you arent supposed to hook up your boost controller to the BOV. It needs to hook up to a pressure side, and to the wastegate actuator. Beyond that, I don't know. I think that on the Type S the lower, smaller nipple is used for further tuning and that it might T off of the line going to the MBC.

Maybe someone can correct me where needed, but that is what I believe to be correct. Ultimately this is sh!t out of a horse's arse casue I dont have a boost controller yet and have no personal experience. I'm just spitting out what information I've gathered from the endless reading I do using the search button.

Actually, hooking up to the bov will give you the pressure source that you want to control, which is manifold pressure.

Hooking up to the turbo outlet or intercooler pipe WILL keep the vacuum lines a little shorter, which is good for controlling spike. However, hooking up there could also affect the pressure signal, since it will vary with weather/temperature/engine load.

I know quite a few people that run from either two places, and none of them have problems with it either way. I personally run from the bov line, and it runs just fine. :dsm:

That is what I live by, what ever works best for you...niether way is better then the other it would seem. I like from the turbo as it keeps things clean...meh...as far as your BOV make sure that it is adjusted right.
