DasBOOST

but im going to assume i need a new one.

Take it out and put in an MBC from Lindsey. Easier to install and probably costs less, plus you can control the boost.

I just ordered one from Pelican - $88.

I can give you a dead one for free...

note that removing this also removes the cripple mode/overboost/boost-pull knock protection !

DasBOOST

haha i already got a dead one, thanx tho lol

anywho. mbc dosent sound to bad.

ill proboaly do that when i get my gauges and chips




now i just have to figure out how the hell to get my dash lights to come on...

Not a big deal. you can always fixed that with an EBC

look at the fuse if its not that then its prob the little light bulbs them selves

nize

can you explain how an ebc can provide boost-pull on knock detection? i don't know of a single ebc that can do this.

Rogue_Ant

I could probably configure my setup to do this.. When there is a will, there is a way.
(I'm just not that concerned about pulling boost)

it wont pull boost on knock detection but it will pull boost if you spike.over boost. if your car is well tuned and you the proper fuel then you dont have to worry about that.

nize

it is a fallacy to believe this. even the best tuned cars get knock. if you think your car doesn't, try installing a knock counter and you'll be shocked.

reno808

hmmmmmmmmmm interesting

Rogue_Ant

I agree. However a properly tuned engine shouldn't ever get any detrimental knock unless external factors come into play (bad fuel, overheating, ect.)

my belief is that the more failsafes, the better.

this is apparantly porsche's belief as well.
