View Full Version : Txs Mbc
9o7wRx7o9 07-27-2003, 07:45 PM Hey guys sorry I missed the meet, I just woke up about 10 min ago...anyway to shortfuseWRX or anyone who has a TurboXS DualStage MBC...I need to know what the preset psi levels are on the Stage 1 and 2 of it...LoL I was trying to do it without calibrating with a Boost Gauge (guess no one has a temporary gauge for me ;P) and put it allll the way down to 0 (so i thought) but i think it's 0 actually is preset at a certain psi...because i flipped the stage 2 around about 26 times (13psi) and all of a sudden the brass regulator came out, i got it back in but that cant be the limit, and i was told that the boost is increased/decreased in increments of two on the DS...even worse on the instructions it says its increments of 3! :P

...and invest in a gauge. Dont want to mess around with MBC without one. You can get a gauge and cup from Jeg's or Summit for like ~$70. Better than buying a bottom end for ~$thousands. Good luck man...
9o7wRx7o9 07-27-2003, 11:41 PM Where can I check out Jeg? I checked out Summit Racing and found a boost gauge for myself (White Arctic 2 1/6th Boost/Vacuum) but I want to find a little more stylish of a Triple A-Pillar Pod.
shortfuseWRX 07-28-2003, 12:44 AM ok im living proof , the boost increments are 2-3 turns for 1-2 psi iI know its wierd bu thats the way it is trust me. and dont mess around with it untill you have a boost gauge. you can really mess up the motor like that hitting boost cut all the time. the preset limits on the contoller is not 0 either. both stages are the same, so inother words stage 1 and 2 are the same boost pressure. but liek i said beofre dont mess around with it untill you have a boost gauge.
RallyX13 07-28-2003, 10:53 PM John, I would definately hold off until you get a boost gauge. I am working on getting some Autometer stuff, but do not have it all worked out yet. Should be soon though.

wait to see what Kris can do for you on the gauges, unless you are in a complete hurry.
9o7wRx7o9 07-29-2003, 01:17 AM I'll wait for Kris, I'm not in a complete hurry, I just want them by the 9th so I can get the MBC installed and maybe hit mid-high 13s. I'm hopin for some white face gauges...and I kind of want a Triple A-Pillar, but will settle for the steering column one like the factory pods...ill check out the total cost...total from Summit + Shipping is like 125.70
RallyX13 07-29-2003, 02:13 AM I will not be able to get it for you by the 9th as I will be heading down to Texas later this week.
Sorry man....Kris
9o7wRx7o9 07-29-2003, 02:52 AM Dang, KRIS! Lemee have your boost gauge while you're gone, keke...how much does subaru sell theirs for (with pod)?
garmin 07-29-2003, 03:12 AM $239 i think
AK_2002_WRX 07-29-2003, 05:10 AM dont get subarus....get one that reads in PSI...its better to tune with so u dont have to mess with conversions and shiet...
try ZOEs i know they have a few boost gauges and mounting cups.
9o7wRx7o9 07-29-2003, 06:06 AM Zoes boost gauges are for superchargers (non-vac) so that isn't all that good of an idea (so I've heard anyway).
garmin 07-29-2003, 12:28 PM i got my boost gauge from zoes, it's a vac system
9o7wRx7o9 07-29-2003, 02:49 PM Really? Well arent I the misinformed one :) How much $$$ did it cost ya?
garmin 07-29-2003, 03:25 PM haha they kinda ripped me :p ahm, including the additional shipping charge (even though the stuff was in inventory ?) i think i walked out of there $129 lighter but with a gauge and a cup
trevman2 07-29-2003, 04:13 PM Autometer Black gauge cup from Jegs- $12.99
Autometer Phantom boost gauge from Jegs- $46.99
shipping/handling to us- ~$25-$30
having it all in time for the test & tune- priceless
:D :D :D :D :D
9o7wRx7o9 07-29-2003, 05:44 PM Hmmm well I just got totally screwed over by Wells Fargo...when i deposited a 100$ check, the teller i guess ACCIDENTLY deposited 200, so whenever i took out from the atm i saw more money on the balance printout then there actually WAS...so I thought I had a little leeway...but instead of having 129$ extra to spend...i actually have 29$ extra...HOOKERS! Screw me and take my money. I'm gettin a lil cash from a buddy to hold over, I'm just gonna get a meter from Zoe's i know it's expensive but hey...i just want the gauge!
