N80Jamie Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well since rotating my turbo i can no longer adjust my actuator above 0.3bar unless i get a bracket made up for it. I was considering my other options and had a quick read on MBC's and EBC's. Are the MBC's on ebay a total no go like the manifolds? Heres a link of one of the egay ones: Ebay MBC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 they are utter shite my car had one and would boost creep all the time even when gauge showed 0.5 i brought the car with it on drove round the corner n ripped it straight off and car runs fine sice Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lew777 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 how much you got to spend on a ebc mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 how much you got to spend on a ebc mate?Well i've just bought one of those cheap MBC's for £6 just to try it out (only £6 ). Not expecting good results but i just need something to see more running a lot more than 0.3bar because i'll be running far to rich. If this MBC and the new bracket on the actuator doesn't help me at all i may try and swap my Varis front for a half decent EBC. Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 dont buy cheap shit mate its not good and you always end up buying better stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

N80Jamie Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Im literally only going to be running that for a week, maybe less, just can't be running that low on boost when the fueling is set up to be running 0.8bar. Ye i was looking at those Gizzmo ones earlier! I think that will be the one i go for if i decide to get one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adz_sportif_turbo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 stay away from the mbc!!! unless u wana b bouncing off fuel cut all day u running a diff ecu?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've got a jam FCD installed so don't need to worry about that. Going to set the shitty MBC to around 0.5-0.6bar to try and compensate for the inevitable boost creep. Only be running this for a few days so should be ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only be running this for a few days so should be ok ahh ok na i read above about u mentioning that u can fuel to .8 of a bar but was thinkin that standard management can do that . cant u just get a hks actuator n make up a bracket?? b cheaper and easier??my bad just read the previous posts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 The actuator i've got is an uprated one (as its adjustable) just unsure on what make. There would be no point in me buying an hks and then making a bracket when i can just make a bracket for the one i've got. If i make a bracket and the boost is still unaffected though then this may shout out the actuator is at fault. Then i'll be looking at buying an HKS one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
