dcarrter21 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 ive searched through various threads but still cant find the answer im looking for. ive fitted a manual boost controller, ive put it in between the vsv and the actuator. as instructed in the threads ive read. im fully decatted, rr, colder plugs and upgraded fuel pump etc. hitting roughly 0.9bar, adjusting the knob doesnt make a differnce. ive been testing in 2nd gear, im guessing that wont make a differnce???? Help!please, im power hungry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Blyth Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure you'd want it plumbed in between the compressor housing and the actuator. You want it to be able to stop the boost pressure from acting on the actuator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmer Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Shouldn't the controller replce the vsv though, ages since i did mine. Theres a good drawing on supraforum somewhere, I'll look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 ive done it as per the threads on here. im just confused....isnt hard i know.. The pictures from the threads on here are confusing. I have posted about them many times and in quite a few different threads. If you see any with my input in them have a read. You are plumbing it into the wrong pipe IMO. When you put it into the right one make sure that you have the MBC fully opened so that you are starting from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/avc-r/install/diagram.jpg For an EBC, specifically the AVC-R as per the link info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmer Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 For an EBC, specifically the AVC-R as per the link info. Doesn't matter though does it? The MBC is doing the same job as the EBC surely? As long as the +ve pressure is pushing against the ball/spring. I may be wrong, it has been known! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 ive basicly plumbed the boost controller inbetween where these two blue lines point http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/avc-r/install/diagram.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people get the actuator and the compressor mixed up. They are very very close to each other and the picture's can be a little misleading.

Scott Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I told you, connect the boost controller to the compressor housing rather than the actuator. Put the actuator pipe back where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Your wrong No he isnt An MBC is just a mechanical, normally ball and spring, method for controlling boost where as an EBC has more brains. They both achieve the same thing, boost control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 No he isnt An MBC is just a mechanical, normally ball and spring, method for controlling boost where as an EBC has more brains. They both achieve the same thing, boost control They both do the same thing, but they do not hook up to the car the same way. Both completely different. Nothing is removed with an MBC, the wastegate VSV is removed for the EBC. So, yes he is If you follow that guide with an MBC you will mess shit up.
