i hooked up a mbc in the dark tonight and i didn't even have my solenoid hooked up and it ran the same so does that mean my solenoid is bad?(not comein up 2 boost and jus testin everything i can think about)i got a stage 4 with fmic!

 

so what are you saying...you installed a MBC and its still running stock boost???

well...anyway...if its not comming up to boost...might be that you installed the MBC backwards......did you make sure there is no leaks...use zip ties where you connect the MBC...it could be a leak somewhere in the hoses...

 

not sure what your problem is but doing it in the dark couldn't have helped any. i would have to agree with 808 sti on this one. could have a leak somewhere. if you running the same boost as you did stock you might have a leak somewhere else. bov possibly? are you holding boost? is it just that your not reaching a higher boost than you did stock even after turning up the mbc? need a little more info.

 

no i had a ebc an it had it's own soleniod so i didn't use the stock 1 but when i took it out and went back to my abc the 1 that came with the utec it won't come up 2 boost not even stock 0.85 only so i just wanna no if my stock solenoid is bad?(i tried 2 reset my ecu that didn't work)i just can't think of any thing else.thanks for any help u can give me.

 

Nick,

Sorry I missed you call. Are you using the stock solenoid now or the one that came with the utec? I'll give you a call.

 

Did it boost correctly with your EBC? If you only started having trouble when you went back to your stock solenoid:
1, Make sure your hoses are run correctly, and 2, make sure you have the restrictor in the line on the compressor side of the "T". I've botched that up on my car a few times.

 

thanks for the reply's yeah it boosted right with my ebc but it didn't run rite thats y i went back to my abc and thats when it started i hooked it up rite.(i tink)

 

runin rite!thank's alot 2 rayn.MAHALO
