[shaunturner306]

Fitted fmic over past couple off days its now finshed but is only boost at 10 psi an sounds like theres a boost leak I have check every pipe an conection they are all tight an sealed an still cant find a leak I have a mbc fitted when open full it still boost at ten psi can anyone help

[cully]

find the boost! leak spray some soap solution around the hose joints bubbles will point you in the right direction

[Toms306]

Did you blank the EGR? If so, is that leaking?

[shaunturner306]

Yh its blanked an its not leaking

[Jtrigga]

When you say you wound the mbc open is wound all the way in? If its wound out that's what decreases the boost.

[shaunturner306]

I wound it in the direction it said to open it an it did nothing the guy never fitted the the t piece that was in with the kit

Have you tried winding it in at all? I said to wind it out first to make sure you didn't overboost when you first fitted it.

10psi does smack of a bigger problem though, is the turbo noisy at all?

[Piggy]

That kit only works with the t piece doesnt it?

Shocking mbc....awful thing....get a decent one and fit it yourself, theres a guide on here sonewhere then at least you know its not that then.

[Poodle]

What makes it so bad piggy, have you had problems with one?

[Piggy]

Yeah.

They are unbelieveably cheap nastily made. Plus when you see how they work, I know the brass and ball has a tiny pin hole to vent but these just dont control it properly imo and let all the boost out when they do

[Slam Wagon]

Is that how they say to set them up?

[Piggy]

Yup...those cheap ones anyway

Ball and spring type are generally bit, and easier to fit as it's just 2 pipes
