Hello everyone,

Last night me my friend who kknow mechanic more than i do.

We install the manual boost controler hallmark on my car even if i dont have intercooler yet.

i just wanna know if we did it correctly.

first all hose on the solenoid is unplug in exception of the hose that go to the resonator the one that go at the bottom of the solenoid. this one is still connected.

the pressure thing just above the solenoid we broke the plastic pin.

that a small pipe about 6 inch long going under the pressure thing but i glue it i dont know if that important

i route the mbc on the turbo and one on the wastegate, everything seem fine, at first my engine stall and had fuel cut but i have lower the mbc at is minimum until i get the intercooler and a boost gauge engine work as usual now.

i just wanna know if i can harm my engine i dont think i am above of the original psi. car run smooth can i leave this setup for now until i get an intercooler? what else would i need

Y pipie. T fitting so i connet the mbc direct on the intake?

im looking for a wrx 06+ tmic and a tdo4.

just wanna make sure my car is not in danger. also thinking about removing my cat bcuz i heard ome backfire when we first set up mbc too high.

is this loook right hook up?

YES your car is in danger. Get that thing off your car until you get a boost gauge!

You are an idiot Yazmo. You installed a MBC without first installing a boost gauge. You don't even know if you installed the MBC correctly. With the MBC set to minimum, you will be running wastegate boost of 5 LBS instead of 9.5 with the stock management. You shouldn't even be attempting to install the MBC without a boost gauge and intercooling. So your car is slower now than it was before you started monkeying with it. Did I read correctly that the line to the pressure sensor is broken? Who knows what other problems you have with your car.

lol ok ^^

Would have been better off going by wastegate boost.

Did you really resurrect a 6-month-old thread just to flame him?

That's uncalled for, especially due to the age of the thread.

I will remind you of the rules
