TurboXS manual boost controller install help

I have this MBC in my hands...



I searched but can't find info on how to install it. I read Damien's MBC installation but I think he used 2 MBC...anyone has suggestion on how to install this? If you have a pictorial DIY that would be even better =P

Thanks.

Install it between the vacuum line that goes to the wastegate actuator. I believe the side port comes from the vacuum source and the bottom line goes to the wastegate. You may want to double check that though.

I use version 1 with an MBC. This setup relies on the factory pre-control solenoid, and the MBC controls boost via the wastegate only. This works well for me - I can still control primary boost (and secondary pre-spool) via the PFC duty setting, up to the limit set by the MBC.

If you need to know which port is the inlet/outlet, check their website for instructions.

Well I have been running version 2 for about 2 years now with no issues. Works great IMO. I get a very predictable and fast spool of the turbos, yet transition is not violent at all. I would recommend it to anyone, but then again.....just my .02


goodluck and hope this helped,
