You can get boost spiking not a good idea keep the pipes as close as possible

Is this not the same thing? but cheaper and with a free install kit?

[Razor04]

you could plump it in like this:


or like this:


but id just leave it in the engine bay.
you fit it like this:




6mm sillicone hose from halfords bout £8
pack of small cable ties
and the MBC
all you need man

[Ryan S]

so the wee blue pipe on the right is blanked off??
just making sure coz it looks like 3 pipes but i know it's obv only 2.

so the 2 you've circled i just use a bit of pipe with a wee bolt in the end to blank off, ok, seems fairly simple, much the same as my 200sx, got to make sure with these things though

[Razor04]

hi yeah you just blank off the 2 pipes on the right i used 6mm bolts as bungs. This disables the tvsv which then allows you full boost in 1st & 2nd gear.

The other 2 pipes on the left go to the MBC

pretty simple job takes half hour max

[CM1GT]

forgive me if i'm wrong but i believe the MBC in the first post is one of the switchable dual setting types becomig popular now, enables you to set 2 individually adjustable boost levels and switch between them, been researching turbos for my next toy

[Razor04]

even if it were switchable, unless it was mounted in the cabin it would be useless, if you gotta pull over & get out to switch it, you may as well just turn the screw on a standard MBC. The brass one in the second post (and which i have fitted to my car) is tried and tested.

[Ryan S]

just bought one off Skipp. need a boost gauge as well.

[Razor04]

autogauges boost gauge £25 halfords
dash mount pod £6

[Ryan S]

good good, just bought one of fleabay for a tenner, does halfrauds do the pillar mounts???

[Ryan S]

oh hang on, that's a dash mount, i like where that sits, halfrauds yes???
i shall buy one today!!
