Help On Manual Boost Controller Install?... 850 1995

I would be careful on buying a boost gauge, when you are soley relying on it for boost control monitoring. The ECU is not involved with boost when connected as per instructions, so it will not correct overboost. However, involving the ECU will cause spiking in pressure, and ultimately the ECU will correct back down to stock boost, thereby defeating the purpose of the MBC. So make sure your gauge is accurrate and reliable. Interestingly, I have had conversations with Scott @ IPD, he was curious on how the car ran with MBC and his ECU, so far very well. He also concurred that if the ECU is involved that check engine lights might appear along with the above. I guess I am the test case...story of my life.

Have Fun
