When I shift hard into second. I hit fuel cut. I am only at 10 psi and cannot go above this. If I adjust my MBC any higher I hit fuel cut in every gear...
Any ideas?

Some boost questions...

so? FCO is APPROXIMATELY around 12 psi....less in some cars, more in others. 10 psi is close enough.....if you really want to eek out the last few psi, check for boost leaks.
you hit FCO on the shift due to a boost spike, it depends on the type of MBC you're using.

I'm guessing it is. It is spliced into the wastgate tubing...drjonez said:

if it's a std, that explains it as it's a bleeder....either way, shoulda bought a MBC from me for $25!

Its the standard one. It was on the car when I bought so that why I didn't buy it from you! But like I said, MAFT PRO is coming so... :evil2:drjonez said:which one do you have? std or high perf?

you might try backing out the bypass screw in the afm. it may give you a psi or 2 if you are really looking for that little bit of extra boost. i personally wouldnt worry about it right now if your going maft. get that shit running and rid yourself of the gay ass afm all together.
don't pay $25.... i got a dr j mbc i'll sell you for $24.95 shipped instead, never installed lol ... i don't even know where i put the damn thing, i went straight to the maft pro and never had a chance to instal it.
I'm going Maft Pro in a couple weeks. I cannot wait! Is Maft Pro as hard as I think its gonna be to set-up?born2drv said:
Also I was look at the bypass screw yesterday but cannot figure it out. How do I back it out? Its just a flat surface on the outisde of the AFM
depends how saavy you are with cars i guess.... me not so much.... i have no idea how the damn thing works LOL .... but it runs, someone semi-tuned it for me, and my car made 400hp easily... but i can't even play with it yet, my car is still in the damn shop... bolted up the 5spd after the auto was swapped out, to find that second gear doesn't work so that needs to be rebuilt now... hopefully i'll be back up and boostin in a week! and i can play with my new toys.

I'll give you .05 for the mbc.... What?! Hey, I'm just trying to keep you guys competitive. Besides, that's the difference between the prices in the two.
What's that?.......No deal....... Oh well, couldn't hurt to try.
J/K.......lol

eh, i don't think the MAFT pro is any harder than any other piggy back to set up. yup, there are more settings and if you go speed/density you'll have to mess w/the response settings to get it running perfect, but it's really a blessing in disguise for several reasons: 1. you get a better understanding of HOW engine management works 2. you have the parameters/settings to do virtually anything you'd like.
as already stated, drill out the cover on the screw....then screw away!
