i have managed to resist the urge to play with my mbc for about 3 days!
i am not sure why, turning it doesn'thave any affect on the boost at all, i was under the impression that a small tweak would create a fair change in the boost, i wound it nearly all the way in and there is no change at all!
any ideas??

Have you got it connected correctly?

i am pretty sure its connected right, the white/clear pipe is blocked, and the mbc is in the line to the actuator.
cheers

HI,
Try using the mbc with the boost solenoid still in place. You can just put it between the boost solenoid and the wastegate (red hose).
Worked pefectly for me. It made a really big improvement in lower revs.

Yes, this works much better. I've written a lot about mbcs...do a search for "mbc" by me.
