Anyone running with a Manual Boost Controller?

Post by xxchevypwrxx »

Does anyone have one of these currently on their car? i just purchased one but it didn't come with instructions, i tried to put it on the car but from 10psi it came down to 5psi, then i turned the screw like 5 times inward and outward and it just keep dying trying to spool up the car. Can anyone help :!: thnx

Yes, many of us are running MBCs. Search the forum. Post pics of what you've got/installed.

Did it come with a "leak pill"? ... goes in the vac line between the manifold and the MBC, has a very small hole in it?
Need that to fake out the wastegate into staying closed longer.

Don't think you want both the chip and an MBC, do you?

If you don't have the chip, then do a search for the Hallman Boost controller on here...it should/could/would/may be the same, or THIS.

What did Revtronix say about 15 psi w/their chip?

Since they recommend/require other mods to use the Stage 2 chips to get to the 14/17.
