MBC install Q

[Trevor Engelsmeier]

i'm using the BOV line from the intake as a source for my MBC, and then run it from that to the wastegate.  now that i have a MBC, i can chuck the BCS stuff, but , what do i use to plug where the BCS hooked on to the turbo outlet pipe??  

thanx guys.

Bubble gum will work.  And don't you mean on the inlet pipe?

The boost controller should be modifying the signal from the hot side of the turbo, and feeding the modified signal to the wastegate actuator.

Edit: Ok I just read your post again and your using the bov as your line.  Then what are you using for the bov?  Deciding to not use a bov anymore?  Don't you think it's easiest to use the turbo outlet pipe to the MBC and then the MBC to the wastegate actuator?  Case closed?

I must be missing something.

Just use a piece of vacuum tubing with a screw stick in one end.  Use some silicone on the screw just for good measure.

you can get nipples at parts stores tho, if you don't like the ghetto look

put a zip tie on it tho, as its under pressure

[Trevor Engelsmeier]

is it to thin to cut off the niple and weld the hole shut??

just to clear things up, i am still using a BOV, but i am T-ing my MBC from the vacuum line to the BOV and then to the MBC, then the wastegate.  i figure this is the better way becuase u are controlling the boost in the intake, not what is coming out of the turbo.  they can be different due to temp, outside pressure, leaks ect.

thanx

you sure can cut/weld that, just do it neatly and make sure you don't have any leaks.

Also make sure you don't restrict that passage any more, its already kinda tiny there with the crushed bend.
