K14 Boost controller - ADV_93 - 23-07-2013
Alright folks, just a quick one, I'm running a KKK K14 turbo. The turbo is running without the boost increase screw (as it was threaded and fell out) but I was wondering if I fitted an MBC to it, would it work? I'm not sure how the wastegate works, so could do with some help! Cheers!

yeah should do
RE: K14 Boost controller - ADV_93 - 23-07-2013
Would i still be able to control the boost with an MBC? Like i said, have no idea how these wastegates work and there's nothing on the internet
RE: K14 Boost controller - Matt - 23-07-2013
Yep should be able too. The way they work (in my head) is they take over the waste gate control, so when you adjust the mbc, it's like adjusting the turbo underneath

yer should work the lowest boost u will get is what ever waste gate is set at then u will just adjust it with mbc

Right, the boost controller is fitted on the metal pipe that runs from the compressor side of the turbo to the wastegate actuator.
After a lot of faffing about trying to recut the threads on the wastegate (which failed as the tap snapped and is now wedged in the actuator)...
However got the boost controller fitted and it works fine, now running 18 PSi and the car goes like a stabbed rat!
This is however, just to confirm to anyone who has a similar experience to me with the wastegate screw falling out, an MBC still will work!
Cheers for the help folks!
