Turbo XS MBC on Ecotec Hahn Stg2...10psi max peak ?
Sunday, April 13, 2008 5:18 PM
I just installed a Turbo XS Manual Boost controller, today. I have it adjusted to 10psi, but my boost slowly drops down to 7psi.
Is this normal for a MBC to peak and level off ? I never had one before....

I got to say....10 psi compared to 7-8psi woke it up a little more.

The way it is working doesn't bother me to much as long as it doesn't go over 10 psi.

I was looking at getting a profec b but didn't want to spend the money on it. I guess if I want a solid 10 psi, electronic may be the answer. Its good to know that other people have experienced the same issue.

The difference between a MBC and a Profec is night and day. Once you have the profec set up right you get addicted to how well it works... if you turn it off and go for a spin, it's clear as day exactly how much it helps your boost response, spoolup, etc... it's a nice little unit, but expensive...

sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I have this problem with the boost dropping off as the rpm's climb.

Will an Electronic Boost Controller cure this?

(right now I'm running a cheap manual unit)
