    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Yeah I see what youre saying but the idea behind the boost controller was to turn dwn the boost , due to it saying it was overboosting. However , now that Ive turned it down I get the same code. This morning I piped the mbc as others have suggested, disconnecting the pipework but leaving it...

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    I really dont think its a boost leak due to how intermittent the problem is, but Ive had the issue over a year now so I have no idea. I havent touched the actuator at all , and the code is 17965

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Should have also mentioned that the error im getting is 17965 - overboost. How can it overboost if ive turned boost down !?

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Right, still have the mbc connected with the n75, but still I have a problem!! Even though I have turned the boost down to 15 psi , it will still go into ****ing limp mode [:@] Take for example tonight. I ran some friends into town just cruising in 5th gear. Cruised most of the way home...

    Would coolant temp sensor cause limp mode ?

    No light and no beeping , but this is probably the third time Ive had that particular fault code re-appear. By limp mode I mean the car wouldnt go above 7 psi, but could still do 80mph etc

    Would coolant temp sensor cause limp mode ?

    As above , Im getting limp mode after quite high speed in 5th gear. I scanned for codes and got 16500 - coolant temp sensor. Any one had experience of this and has it caused limp ? Cheers

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Cheers for the advice. So am I better runing the mbc without the n75 , or with the n75 ? Im just worried that if the N75 isnt plumbed in but is electrically connected then it will throw faults/still cause limp mode ?

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Thanks very much Tarzan for your help. I think I will keep the n75 connected for now as I would think it would be dangerous otherwise if i were to put boost up too much. I think I am right in saying that if the n75 is connected then I can only turn boost up to the level the car is asking for ?

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Ok all plumbed in so took the car for a spin. The main thing I have noticed is that the boost controller has a very small hole on it which is obviously put there when its made , but this thing hisses like crazy when the car comes on boost ? Is that normal ? Also , I started the boost...

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Thanks guys, I found this diagram on the internet and copied what I saw : Thats it fitted now anyway , and Ive mounted the controller inside the car rather than outside. Hopefully I can turn the boost down a bit to overcome the overboost problem I have been having ! Thanks again

    Fitting a manual boost controller ?

    Hi there, Just got my forge mbc this morning and I'd like to know the best way of fitting it as they give no instructions ? Do I remove the pipework from the n75 or do I use it in conjunction with the boost controller ? What pipes do I plumb each part of the controller in to ? Thanks...
