Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] where did you secure ur mbc

right guys ,i think iv sussed it .when i was adjusting it it was dark and i really couldnt see it prop ,went out and had a look there and the bolt was only about 40% in !it seems that something is stopping it from screwing in right up to the hilt ,that and the weaker/shorter spring looked like it wa...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] where did you secure ur mbc

- if before altering the MBC you were only getting around 8psi then yeah you've disabled the VSV ok. yeah before it was on i got 8psi and it screws in and changes the boost no problem(very slow though ,iv seen posts and apparently 1/4 turn is enough to raise it a good bit ,i was trying it a 1/4 tur...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] where did you secure ur mbc

are you sure you've disabled the TVSV correctly? 14psi is stock max pressure on the rev 3 i think so ,the hose that goes from the actuator to the tvsv has a bolt in it and cable tied securely ,and the other outlet from the actuator is direct to the mbc (and obv then the turbo) ,it can only b the sp...
