Underboosting is what caused my limp when Piggie put in XR. Maybe this fellow has the MBC set too low. Otherwise, boost ramp up.

Anyone have an install guide for MBC in parellel? Must be idiot proof. Also, MBC + APR ok? - VandyS4 2005-05-02 16:14:38 (555 views)

Uh oh, here we go! Just wait for my DIY, it'll be coming in the next few days... - DocWyte 2005-05-02 21:33:19 (420 views)

No way, are you serious? - VandyS4 2005-05-02 22:26:40 (445 views)

Yep, gotta control the boost spikes when I go WOT in the higher gears... - DocWyte 2005-05-03 06:02:42 (450 views)

Here ya go. Ignore the pressure gauge. - VonK :: Indukted 2005-05-02 17:56:03 (1689 views)

These two pics really helped me when I did mine... - Dr. Jekyll 2005-05-02 16:38:27 (588 views)

I was unable to get MBC only to work with AMS stage1 reliably... - burningcoals 2005-05-02 16:25:51 (473 views)

TCD. - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:26:42 (397 views)

Hmm will TCD work with AMS? I was told different. - burningcoals 2005-05-02 16:27:35 (387 views)

I haven't seen anything to the contrary. - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:33:03 (381 views)

If it tapers too much up top, 1 bar TCD could be too high and not eliminate TC? - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:35:10 (419 views)

Tapers similar to X chip in my experience - DarinS4Turbo 2005-05-02 18:12:10 (380 views)

Post a boost log of your AMS. - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:28:46 (393 views)

Nope, won't change the fact that he is ramping up too quick. - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:27:25 (422 views)

I thought the ramp-up was pretty similar to X, no? - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:32:28 (373 views)

Don't know, but unimportant. AMS must be less "understanding" when it sees any monkey business. - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:33:59 (495 views)

Hmmm, any proof of this? - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:39:08 (466 views)

No proof of my statement or yours. The fact remains he went limp.... - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:42:18 (378 views)

Why not spend the 20 bucks on a TCD and give it a shot? - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:43:54 (418 views)

Limp from overboosting? Yeah, that's common. :-/ - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:46:20 (415 views)

Yes, it is... actually. - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:51:24 (425 views)

I've overboosted, resuling in TC, at least 50 times. Never ever had limp mode until XR underboosting - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:53:29 (471 views)

Midge, I got it CONSTANTLY with the X. I had to put in the tcd... - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:57:12 (486 views)

I guess your car hates you. $10 says TCD won't solve AMS boy's problem ;-) - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:58:08 (386 views)

Haha... I'd bet you, but collecting from your poor ass would be too difficult. - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:59:49 (397 views)

yarr... - VandyS4 2005-05-02 16:28:03 (471 views)

MBC in parallel will work fine, though. - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:29:11 (449 views)

i think thats all he wants to do anyways.... - BASELINE 2005-05-02 19:16:25 (390 views)

MBC only works best with GIAC, no doubt. MBC in parallel should work with all of them. - DocSlow (Mini P!g) 2005-05-02 16:23:15 (547 views)

Nothing better than what's out there already... - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-05-02 16:18:24 (501 views)

what are you trying to do? - BASELINE 2005-05-02 16:18:16 (425 views)

Just prevent boost spikes. - VandyS4 2005-05-02 16:26:21 (372 views)

you shouldn't have too much of a boost spike on your setup. - BASELINE 2005-05-02 19:13:29 (457 views)
