Anyone done this? I have been doing some experiments and it seems possible. IE I was able to get so much pressure into my manifold that the plastic pipes that run from the intercooler to the tb burst apart in two places.

Trionic will probably cut fuel but it can't cut boost, I think I just proved that. Not one CEL, even when i had a severe vacuum leak because the plastic crap blew apart.
I drove around for almost a year on a defective wastegate actuator that wasn't holding pneumatic pressure and thus was not dumping. Fortunately I had the base boost turned way down so that the wastegate itself was just leaking slightly. Car was down on power but not horrible.
If saab had a really sophisticated system they would use an electronic boost controller but this setup is largely mechanical/pneumatic. The complex stuff is on the manifold readings. The wastegate is pretty damn primitive.
I'm sure you think I'm poking fun, or bashing the idea - honest I'm not, I just wonder why this (fitting an MBC) is a positive thing to do thats all?
