How NOT to hook up a MBCV

[KMinAF]

I was given a boost control valve (from a Supramania subscriber) and searching the internet I found this article thinking it was applicable to a CT26. It isnt. Hope this saves others from an incorrect installation.

yea thats for the Z cars. they have a a different setup because its a twin turbo system and they need to balance out the pressures i would imagine.

you can make it work with a slightly different hookup:

1. line from pressure source on the compressor cover, run this directly to the boost controller .
2. the line that says it should be to the atmosphere should be run from the boost controller to the actuator.

this is how 90% of MBC are hooked up. im not 100% sure if it will work exactly with that one so test it and report back!

That way works too but it is just making a boost leak. we ghettoed a similar setup on the dyno with a few people, but yes that would be for a twin setup to keep both sides the same.

It's called jew boost. (bleeder T)


BTW, my turbos aren't hooked up to the boost controller like that... It's just the same as one turbo, except the turbo turbos are T'd together. That's all.

just connect one fitting to the wastegate, and the other to the turbo nipple
