they work, but the adjustment is not very linear from what users tell me…

like you are at stock boost and you turn only a few times and the boost goes up quite a bit… where as with a turbosmart you have to turn it a whole bunch of times ot make the boost go up.

if you have a boost gauge and can monitor to make sure you dont end up running 15 - 18 psi by accident then you have nothing to worry about.

MBC’s are a set and forget type thing anyways.

So in sum, yes they work, they just have a non-linear adjustment i guess would be the best way to put it. I’ve sold lots of them to guys all over the country, that is the feedback i get.

no you need to hook up that tee. the boost controller wont function properly without it. i have the same one lol it works pritty well actually. but it takes time to adjust it the first time.

well the side that the arrow is pointing to goes straight to the actuator.  
the side with the purple nipple goes to the boost controller nipple with the arrow.  
and the last nipple on the tee( the side opposite to where the arrow is pointing) gets the main signal from the hot pipe or where ever your getting your actuator signal.

and the second nipple on the controller is left alone you dont block it off or anything.  
when you first youse the controller your suppose to liike turn it clock wise for about 10 clicks(youll hear the clicks as you turn) and then you go for a ride and every time you adjust go up by 2 clicks or if you went to far up on the boost go down by 2 clicks at a time. i had a little manual thats what it said on it. and its been working fine for me for a while now.

i like how you started the actuator line in red, then switched to blue but ‘dotted’ the Blue ‘A’ with red so we would know it was an ‘A’.

if you didnt have one of these already i would very likely be shipping you one… but you do have one, so too bad.
