Since I'm going to stand alone I don't need this any more. It's a really nice MBC, very well made. I was very happy with it.

I'm selling it with the bracket I made to replace the wastegate solenoid, and the hoses I had on there. This makes it more or less a plug & play installation. Depending on the turbo you may have to add some hose. I used the stock hose reducer on the inlet (bottom port)

I think I may be interested. I don't know anything about boost controllers though. All I know is that I'm going to be using an EJ20H motor with a nearly new 2K mile TD04 with 06 TMIC and I imagine I'll need a boost controller. Not sure because I'm new to this but if you could explain how it works and tell me whether I need one of these I'll probably buy it from you.

Thanks

What are you using for engine management? If you're using the stock EJ22t EM, then you'll only be able to boost to 9-10 psi.

A manual boost controller would allow you to adjust the boost to raise it beyond the factory boost limit.

Manual boost controllers are relatively cheap compared to electronic ones. The disadvantage with MBC's are that you may get some boost creep (higher boost then you set) in 4th & 5th gear. Additionally, if you set the MBC during the summer, and you get a cold front you may get boost spikes during the winter or a cold front moving through due to denser air.

There is also a potential for part throttle full boost issue. Personally, I didn't really experience that, boost acted more or less identical to the stock ECU at part throttle.

There's more info in the turbo forum.

Let me know if you're still interested.

Josh, does this have a lock down screw/nut to hold the setting? I didn't see one in the picture but may have not been looking at it correctly.

Also, how senstive is it? The one I have works, and works well but it'll change 2-3 psi over a 1/4 turn.

Basically I wouldn't mind upgrading but and curious about the above issues. I have other things I should probably spend on first though

. Let me know when you get a chance.

Thank you.

Lee,

Sorry about the delay. Been traveling a lot for work....it's just been crazy.....

No it does not have a lock down screw. It has never moved on me. It's a very good design.

I'd say it's pretty sensitive. Much more then what it sounds like yours is.

Let me know if you're still interested.

Would like this to go to a Legacy owner. Make me an offer. It's just been sitting in the garage.
