My Turbo Convesion...what mods to go for?

Dump valve = chav, total complete waste of money the stock one is far better than ANY after market one.

MBC over EBC much simpler to setup, fraction of the price controls boost perfectly.

so that'll save you £200 on the dump valve and £400 on the boost controller, take that saving any buy something usefull like a Power FC

How can a dump valve be a total waste of money if you want one? And like the sound?

I got my boost controller for £130, and my HKS SSVQ for £50. So thats £180, not the £600 you just added up! And why bother with an Apexi power FC when the engine is standard? Power FC would be COMPLETE overkill.

EBC v MBC. I aint looked at your profile but assume you have an MBC. Its like a dishwasher. Once you've lived with an EBC you'll never know how you managed without![/quote]

Its a shame, well catch 22 about having such a new engine as the ideal thing to have done before getting the engine in would be a decat, but as its a post 1994 engine they'll expect a cat at MOT.

Not when it's being sellotaped into a 1992 car - no cat for you matey!

technically this is wrong.

As the mot goes on the age of the engine and not the car. Because if you have a 1998 car but fit a 1990 engine you can pass an mot as long as you can prove that its an older engine.

so i would think its likewise with fitting a newer engine.

I know it would pass anyway as the garage wouldnt know its got a newer engine stuffed in there

just pointing out useless facts lol

Lol .. how on earth would you prove that to the average MOT centre monkey. You start talking rev 1 2 3 etc, he'll be asleep or eating his sarnies before you know it aha

Technically, this is wrong. The MOT test is actually based on whichever of the two is older. I researched this recently as I'm putting a slightly older engine into my MR-S and wondered if I could scrape past without a catalytic converter.

When I fitted my HKS SSQV I found that I have a much better throttle response lower down the rev range. Since I've fitted it I've tried going back to standard a few times but I can really feel the difference so I've stuck with the SSQV nowadays.

for your info I used to run and AVC-R but ditched it for a MBC, because the MBC is better.

I disagree with you, AVC-R is better by far, as you can adjust it between 2 level, monitor setting, and set the boost you want at the rpm you want!!

MBC may be better for you because ur avc-r setting is not right or not fine tune enough, once you tune it MBC is no contest

MBC is simple
EBC is patient and $$$ but better

I'd have thought you'd have bigger problems than that with the MOT on the turbo MR-S - last pic I saw had everything sawn off beyond the engine bay
