Therealet23 requested information about my set up so i will post everything on the forum for future references....

this is my APC/BPC solenoid:


this is my MBC:


everything from the side:


everything from the top:



okay...this is how to set up an MBC inline with the APC/BPC solenoid:

the solenoid has 3 vacuum lines going to it....the top leads to the turbo, the middle leads to the wastegate, and the bottom is return air that goes to the intake.

take the middle line that goes to the wastegate and cut it in half...this is where the MBC is placed, in between the two hoses that you now have. I left the bottom of my MBC disconnected because you dont really need this air to go anywhere...you can tap into the bottom hose of the solenoid and route it there if you want to. Not neccessary in my opnion.

adjust the MBC to whatever boost level you like and think is safe.

thats about it for the install of a MBC. Enjoy.





Moving onto the BOV and Boost Guage:

this is where you tap into for you boost guage...one os for the boost guage and the other is for the BOV.




here is a pic of my a-pillar pod....its not in place yet so its just literally hanging in there for now....


i ran the vac line from the intake minifold, through the firewall, and up to the a-pillar through the side of the dash board and behind....same for the electricity to it, but those wiring came off my wiring for my LED's and neons and put onto a switch. Thats about it. Any questions, msg me.

okay...all that makes sense....but why do i need to use another vacuum line for the blow off valve...is the stock location not good? and which line is for BOV and which one is for boost gauge? or does it matter? also...what if i bought a mbc like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Voodo...64307473QQrdZ1

which hoses would i plug where?

[screamingreen97]

i replaced everything you see in yellow....all brand new silicone hoses....it doesnt matter which one is which, i just replaced them all

[Therealet23]

okay....i see that...but what about the other type of MBC....how would i plug that kind up? i kno it has to do with same line...but im not sure....and where did u get ur a pillar at?

[screamingreen97]

plugs in at the same place....i got my pillar from PFS....it sux...dont buy it

[Therealet23]

in the same place....even though it only has 2 connections and not 3 like urs....do i just put both connections to the same middle tubing on the apc ?

dont cheap out on mbc's you will get crazy boost spikes and have a hard time adjusting it...its one of those parts wher eyou get what you pay for

i dont know how good the voodoo ones are....i got mine from PFS and i think its a forge motorsport one...so, its up to you if u wanna get the one i have or that voodoo stuff

[Grentarc]

i bought a cheap ebay SRP boost controller.. min boost was 10.5psi, max was 19psi.. decided to give it to my brother who's nissan patrol TD so he can get it back up, to around the 10psi mark

[Therealet23]

well i mean...voodoo ones have a pretty good rep...and its adjustable to 30psi...i just want to kno how to hook it up??? should i put both connections in the wastegate line? there is not a thrid connector like the forge one

[screamingreen97]

i alrdy answered your question

[Therealet23]

well if u wouldnt mind...could u answer it again please?

[screamingreen97]

how about u look up on the post and read again, this is very annoying, i took the time out to take pictures and everything for you and u still ask the same questions

[brewtide]

there;

stongly suggest you read up on HOW an MBC does what it does, and why. Once you realize this, you'll fully grasp the way to hook it up. It's an INSANELY simple device -- Air in -> ballbearing -> spring (w/ adjustable tension) -> air out.

The more tension on the spring, the more PRESSURE (PSI/BAR) required to flow air out.... Hence, your adjustment.

Air intake from the compressor or another boost tap source (doesn't really MATTER where; some places have more issues/perks than others), air out to wastegate actuator.

Set device right below fuel cut. DO this by having VERY minimal pressure on the spring. Slowly adjust boost up (turn knob in, or whatnot) until you hit fuel cut. (Violent jerking) turn back a twist or so, and you're done.

this kid still isnt gonna know what to do and ask the same question that we've been answering....annoying

[Therealet23]

i dont understand what the problem is....if there is something i could help someone with...i would help...adn try to explain...i asked a simple question about a voodoo type MBC......i never got a direct answer.....that is fine....ill figure it out myself.....u would think if u know that the question has been answered u would then tell me exactly where it is or just tell me....that way u wouldnt be "annoyed"....but its fine...ill figure it out...but i will thank you for the little help that you gave me....i really do appricate it.....

[brewtide]

WOW.

Quiute frankyly I've seen a bazillion DIRECT exact answers for your 'question'. Like I said earlier, you need to learn HOW this device works; then you'll understand how to install it and more importantly, how NOT to damage your car...

I gave a step by step; others have as well with pictures.

There is no 'exact' way to install this device; different methods have different perks/downsides; but many many variations on how to install.

If you think this is complicated, you should see my setup with an 'anticipator' aspect as well; two devices, more hoses, y connectors and new boost taps all over -- Easy to install IF you get the underlying concepts.... Best of luck.
