MBC installed... observations and questions.
I finally installed my TurboXS standard manual boost controller.
Here is how my vehicle is reacting. Seems a little different than what I expected.
If I go part throttle it will still boost up to 5-7 psi. I thought from reading the other posts it would jump straight up to 10-11 psi even at part throttle.
If I go full throttle it will boost up to 10-12 psi and hold it for the most part. Some times it will jump to 10-12 psi then back off down to 5-6 psi and feel kind of weird. If I lose traction will the computer back off on the timing and cut some boost? If I take traction control off it's much more likely to boost to 10-12 psi and hold it in that range.
I don't get any spiking above 10-12 psi. In fact it will boost to 5-6 psi and then increase rapidly until it hits the 10-12 psi range then hold there. This seems backwards from what other people have reported. They spike then settle down. My boosting seems much more controlled? Is this because the autostick pcm manages application of boost differently?
Just for reference without the MBC I would hit around 5 psi, manually go up to about 9 psi then come down and hold around 7 psi. So I have seen a decent improvement I'm just wondering if the behaviour is normal.
When it's boosting up to 10-12 psi and holding it it feels great.
Oh yeah I almost forgot if I overboost the computer will trap it right? I'm a little anal about these things and would hate for my boost gauge to be slightly off and be overboosting.
