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

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] These MBCs any good???
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

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] These MBCs any good???
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

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] These MBCs any good???
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

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] These MBCs any good???
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
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] These MBCs any good???
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.
