Is there a consensus on how to hook up an MBC on the PT GT? [:I] On the srt forum they were going back and forth on the install. One completely bypassing all computer control and the other leaving everything stock and installing it( I believe, have to re-read the post) between the WGA and the turbo, bypassing the #2 solenoid, they are getting good numbers with stage I this way and no boost spikes/ fluctuations etc.

I'm thinking they are all valid.. I was leaning towards bypassing the WGA solenoid completely, but there's been a lot of folks over there who then have the stutter/flutter problem.. I'm currently looking at setting mine up to use all factory set-ups during normal operation, then at WOT
AND 10psi bypassing the WGA solenoid and using an MBC set to 18 or so psi (via a throttle switch from NOS, a pressure switch, and boost solenoid). AR, EGT, and logging knock and timing sensors will ultimately dictate my second stage boost.

I bought an electric Greddy boost/vacuum guage from a local "import" shop, and an Autometer mounting cup from the local Jegs (it's just a canister that the guage drops in, with mounting brackets). I mounted it on the top left corner of the steering column. It looks real clean. Oh, and those generic pillar pods just use a heat gun to shape it to the curve of your pillar.
