Pressure Reading Location for Manual Boost Controller [MBC]

Post by Jutboy »

I have heard that the best place to attach my spring/ball type mbc is on the turbo compressor, on the intake outlet and on the bov line.....

I would really appreciate someone explaining why one is better then the other and which one I should do.....everyone seems to have an opinion but doesn't explain it.

Thanks - Jutboy

put the mbc between the compressor side of the turbo then the outlet from MBC to the wastegate on the back of the turbo.

just remember that the pressure from the compressor side needs to push on the ball of the mbc.
