That won't be a problem without those nasty boost spikes.

You can't run that anyway without causing a problem.
A MBC will eliminate spikes. You can use it in conjunction with the N75 for best results.

1.5 bar is highly excessive anyway. You won't ever want to run that on ko3's or 4's.

Thread:

So how many of you are using a MBC or EBC in your S4? Did you know how well it really works? - Innovator 2003-06-29 17:26:27 (6339 views)

Although on K03s the wastegate is left shut after 5500rpm ;-) - DarinS4Turbo 2003-06-29 19:13:20 (1523 views)

You need to keep it to an amount that the turbos can sustain. - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:17:45 (962 views)

Well, if you set it to < 1 bar to prevent the above scenario, you lose alot of low/end power - DarinS4Turbo 2003-06-29 19:24:40 (819 views)

This is true. A very good point, but 1 bar is plenty for a KO3 IMO. - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:31:40 (973 views)

Yeah, I do like the spool-up quickness and spike prevention of the MBC - DarinS4Turbo 2003-06-29 20:13:12 (696 views)

Geddy Profec B Is The Way 2 Go In EBCs - Y2K_S4_Blown Turbos 2003-06-29 20:10:45 (1166 views)

Is that a dual or single solenoid? - Innovator 2003-06-29 20:12:48 (626 views)

Single solonoid. The Spec II will be available in dual solonoid later this year. - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 20:19:58 (638 views)

Or.. HKS EVC 5 ;) - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 19:33:23 (925 views)

Any of the ones that will allow the boost to be adjusted in RPM increments and gear load. - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:39:18 (669 views)

Sooo argumentative ;) - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 19:41:17 (477 views)

At least i don't dangle shit in front of people like an idiot :-) - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:55:29 (526 views)

What is there to dangle. - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 20:02:59 (587 views)

Haha....that is funny. - Singletrack 2003-06-30 03:33:11 (477 views)

His little winky . - Innovator 2003-06-29 20:08:52 (484 views)

lol - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 20:12:36 (428 views)

spikes? not all of us have spike issues - K04madness 2003-06-29 18:52:01 (807 views)

All of the software I've seen spikes. So will yours. - Innovator 2003-06-29 18:57:40 (504 views)

rick did you watch my video i posted? - K04madness 2003-06-29 19:02:16 (695 views)

No quicktime. Did you get your car back? - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:06:34 (439 views)

Spikes happen during shifts, not while on throttle. - Singletrack 2003-06-29 19:06:06 (534 views)

have you driven an S4 dude? keep your car at 4K rpm and floor it - notice the boost spike? - K04madness 2003-06-29 19:44:35 (602 views)

Same basic programing dude on an A6, but yes I have driven several S4s, not that it is relevant. - Singletrack 2003-06-30 03:40:38 (766 views)

Hmmm Mine doesnt :-D - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 19:53:55 (439 views)

Umm??? LOL - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 19:33:55 (507 views)

When you release then depress the throttle when you shift, the boost will spike until it stabilizes. - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:36:40 (502 views)

Understood, i misunderstood "SingleTrack"s post. - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 19:39:27 (495 views)

Yup, and a MBC in line will reduce them to almost nothing. - Innovator 2003-06-29 19:07:42 (648 views)

wouldnt it need to be on a parallel circuit to limit boost? - CharlieGSanD 2003-06-29 23:46:04 (629 views)

No, the MBC would go after the N75 if you kept the N75 in line. - Innovator 2003-06-30 05:39:11 (719 views)

have you done this, or is it just a theory? - CharlieGSanD 2003-06-30 08:41:16 (597 views)

I have done it. It works, no doubt. - Innovator 2003-06-30 18:06:23 (473 views)

hrmmm....... - CharlieGSanD 2003-06-30 18:12:19 (642 views)

I hate this cryptic bullsh!t...if you have good information share it. What do you expect beside - 2k2S4 :: Indukted 2003-06-29 18:17:16 (641 views)

Call me Eric Fletcher,........ LOL. - Innovator 2003-06-29 18:27:52 (609 views)

Here's some info. They work great on X, MTM, and APR. Seem to be a problem on Piggie's - FunkWeasel 2003-06-29 18:23:16 (725 views)

Oh yeah, don't go over 1.5bar! Throttle shuts. - FunkWeasel 2003-06-29 18:30:16 (551 views)

That won't be a problem without those nasty boost spikes. - Innovator 2003-06-29 18:33:48 (531 views)

what does 1.5 convert to in psi anyways? over 22 i am guessing - buffalonogaro 2003-06-30 00:04:30 (643 views)

21.755662 - Innovator 2003-06-30 05:36:54 (494 views)

I know, just making sure people don't go overboard with the control! - FunkWeasel 2003-06-29 19:03:06 (465 views)

I could imagine that invites other problems as well. =) - 2k2S4 :: Indukted 2003-06-29 18:32:33 (489 views)

Funky - get on AIM foo! - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 18:25:03 (460 views)

;-) sorry just heading out, I'll look for you when I get back. - FunkWeasel 2003-06-29 18:29:24 (423 views)

Shhhh!!! dont tell people!!! - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 18:24:29 (445 views)

hush troll - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 18:21:56 (503 views)

Maybe - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 18:10:01 (452 views)

So I assume you are running one right now? More.... - Kitch 2003-06-29 17:35:51 (553 views)

Here's a more elegant solution, sans Orchard Supply Hardware. ;) - Jason @ ND 2003-06-30 09:24:40 (827 views)

Looks cool, but does it work better than the Dawes? And how much is it? - Innovator 2003-06-30 18:07:42 (590 views)

But then the "dawesdevice" is a $7 pressure relief valve from McMaster-Carr - FunkWeasel 2003-06-30 18:14:51 (682 views)

Damn your right! It works perfectly though, and I only pay a fraction of the list price. - Innovator 2003-06-30 18:21:25 (481 views)

Already ordered 2 of them before all you guys flood them with orders. ;-) - FunkWeasel 2003-06-30 18:22:20 (473 views)

From Dawes or the other place? - Innovator 2003-06-30 18:25:54 (545 views)

Mcmaster. Dawes wants $40 for it, and I'm cheap. - FunkWeasel 2003-06-30 18:27:25 (448 views)

Does it still allow the ECU to taper boost at high rpm? - Kitch 2003-06-29 20:07:50 (482 views)

No, you would need a EBC for that. Most tuners are wringing them out anyway. Most, not all... - Innovator 2003-06-29 20:10:02 (597 views)

Agree, some people are trying that on K04s ;-) - DarinS4Turbo 2003-06-29 19:16:15 (448 views)

And already have them installed on K03's with various ECU's.. - Milpitas2.7T 2003-06-29 20:23:52 (604 views)

At least on X you can ignore the requested if you like, and it won't set any codes. - FunkWeasel 2003-06-29 19:03:53 (568 views)

Thats teh plan >8-D - Nogaro Baller 2003-06-29 19:19:10 (462 views)
