Just went for the virgin ride with the kit! awesome! im using phillips 8psi map on the emanage, but i left the mbc cranked all the way down because i havent recieved the boost guage i ordered like 2 weeks ago. but anyway, it was awesome, no pinging or anything... only thing i noticed was the revs were a little reluctant to come down below 1700rpm for a second when i let off the throttle, im guessing this might be because im running stock psi on the 8psi map tho. thanks for all your help guys, couldnt have gotten thru the tuning process without you!!!!!!!!!

Good deal! Just one thing? Wouldent cranking down your MBC increase boost? Anyways, thats how mine works because if you tighten it, it actually compresses the spring and increases boost. Please feel free to shoot me down if I'm wrong?

So what was the problem before? something with your EMB? Had to cut that one wire?

And make sure your cranked the MBC all the way "up" not down.

yea its cranked "up", and yea the problem was i didnt cut the grey wire! even in this semi untuned state the car is really quick. i think my favorite thing is how it pulls me up hills without using like 60% throttle haha.
