Quick MBC Question

Post by easty-5 »

I have a MBC sitting here. Is it possible to fit it without any additional Vaccum pipe?

Would appreciate any quick replies as would like to get it done this afternoon as work is slow.

I did mine ages ago but I think you will need new pipe.

The existing one that goes from the compressor to the wastegate is too short to splice (and use) the MBC.

Done my friend. I don't see why some folk cut and plug the vaccum line. Just unplug it under the inlet manifold.

Decat and IC on the list next. Ain't looking forward to those jobs.
