i have no knowledge of turbo engine at all, but i'm willing to bet, knowing Dan's experience, that it is possible to melt a piston with an SBV

no im not saying that, im saying that before you fit one you should obviously check everything over, make sure fuelings right ect, most people just sit them and up the boost without doing anything else and that why they melt, so how can you blame the mbc for that.

cos an sbv is a mechanical device, mechanical devices are gonna get blamed more often than electrical boost controllers

a electronic boost controller is basically the same thing really except its digital and uses a electonic soilnoid and has flashy lights.

just cause it cost £££ dont mean its gonna be reliable.

m8 of mine was using a hks evc 5 set at 1.3bar, one day it just packed in and started running over 2.5bar, shows electronic controllers are not all they made out too be either, there no win/lose situation here really, i perfer using mbc's to electronic controllers, but thats me, others may not like them but whats that matter too me, you lot may think they are crap but like i say i dont really care.

yes but they are normally closed valves so if it should fail it no boost and tb's are no problem what so ever as i ran these on my phase 3 let same as tb's on any engine they dont need set up often at all

when i saw "in action" in the title i expected to see a decent track or 1/4 mile video, not some clown racing round the streets

do you really think the roads are a suitable place to show what your car can do publicly?

because the amal valve is controlled by the apexi, the amal valve opens when the desired boost level is reached, and the turbo doesnt create any more boost

i think.

i think you should refer to http://www.PSTFU.co.uk - i said I THINK. that obviously means i dont KNOW....

maybe i wanted a decent answer, not a nobby answer from some prick who thinks he's cool making a crap vid of a car, which in all fairness, doesnt look quick at all
