i need the pt reff to throw the BS flag, that will cost you 15 yards!
The mbc runs off the selinoid (i'm a chef not a speller!) which is vacuum lines... If the mbc is all the way closed (no boost) it dosent reduce the stock diameter of the line... Ie you will run stock boost!
The wga is an exhaust bypass system, allowing air to either go to the turbo or out of the exhaust. As pressure builds so does the tension on the spring holding the valve closed. The stock valve starts to open at 4psi and is fully open at 9-10psi. Agp wga, S2 wga, and fm wga begin to open at 9psi unless you upgrade the spring. The advantage of the non stock wga is a shorter arm= the larger the distance between the valve and the spring is greater tension or more boost! No after market wga has a longer than stock arm... Which means... Wait for it... Stock boost!
You may have run 5psi but not for the reasons above.
On a side note, i did a little digging on your car... Nice work! That takes alot of detication.
