hallman mbc (es kit if that helps) and a greddy type rs bov recirculating

edit: I also saw on vfaq they ran a line from the mbc instead of to the turbo tee'd into the line coming off the bov. I have it running to the turbo not tee'd in. I dunno if that makes a difference

The way you have it is the recommended way, I also have mine that way.
Are you sure you have the mbc connected right?

Sorry about the bov question. I totally missed it in you sig.


MBC...The one that sticks out on the side goes to the wastegate and the other to the turbo compressor housing.

Sh*t if thats the case I'm screwed I'm flat broke. How do I figure out if its the turbo or the MBC? Because I do have it hooked up right cuz like I said I had it dialed into 15psi then it just went back to factory and pretended like the mbc wasnt there w/o me changing anything

edit: if my turbo is going up would that have anything to do with my terrible gas milage? I'm gettin 230 to a tank at best

well my turbine wheel is scraped up on the edges it looks like hell. and the wheel wiggles a bit when i move it. So I think its done. I mean it works right now at 12 psi but the last thing I want is a piece of that wheel to break off and go into my engine. So I think that was the problem
