Of course, all this racing was done on a track or private road wasn't it?
 QUOTE(BBoYRuGGeD @ Jan 22, 2006 - 3:53 AM) [snapback]382204[/snapback] MBC this week, installed and set to 12 psi. Those simply 3 letters - M B C - are the cause of the overboosting issues. MBCs are renowned to causing overboost as they simply can't react quickly enough to keep the boost under control. I have never and will never fit one to a turbo car for that reason. Overboosting can potentially wreck an engine as you may well be aware of. EBCs may cost more, but will control boost much better and are still cheaper than an engine rebuild.
