ATP Boost Cut Defender Q's
- Thread starter RevLimitLaunch
- Start date
What are the challenges to adding this? Since adding my DP I have FC all the time.

It's really easy to install, although you just gotta disconnect, or move one or two of the connectors out of the way to get to it.
Removing the old bolt, taking out the sensor, installing sensor into the relief valve, then reinstalling with longer bolt.
It doesn't solve fuel cut for every car though, as fuel cut comes from more than boost pressure inside manifold.

i just got it and it solved alot of backfiring i was getting driving my car fast ripping thru gears. awesome addition, i installed it in the dark and it was a pain in the ass getting it back together lol.
So until you get EMS this is the solution? I usually get it about about 100 under spirited driving. So the limitations in 1 & 2 help as I get the most out of those gears...

ATP's fuel cut defender, boost cut killer, whatever you want to call it.... is amazing.
i bought it along with a manual boost controller and i run about 20psi on the stock k04. its ridiculous and amazing at the same time. i think without this product you're no where on upgrading turbo or turning the boost up. i dyno'd 264whp 332wtq with it at 4k on the dyno (the dyno was whack and the chart went to hell after that). i havent been to a dyno since to get good solid numbers, but i definately need to.

20psi isn't yikes - especially on a k04-22. its pretty much at the peak of the effeciency range on the turbo, but its performing extremely safe. i've been at this level for 2 months now.
no problems(and there wont be any) - just fun

most definately, and even more so now that i hit more power in the first 3 gears. we ms3 players figured out how to bypass the torque limiting feature.

turn the key to the on position and hold the dsc button (you should see the dsc light go off then back on). while holding the button start the car, wait about a second and let go.
you should see the 'dcs off' light and traction-loss graphic/light stay lit at the same time.
there ya go. have fun spinning tires and going crazy balls fast

didn't work on my ms6 today. oh well
By holding he DSC button in when the car is started does kick on the traction control light, however it does not disable the torque limiting feature you speak of. Folks who have tried this have "reported" they can "feel" a slight difference (I've tried it also), but it does not give you full boost in 1-2 gears if thats what you mean. Just slightly removes another level of ECU nanny'ing.
mrlilguy - you have any pics of the install of your MBC?

there isn't much to show. i have a picture of a boost controller and 2 vacuum lines going to it?
if you bought one and want a tutorial on how to install, call me! it's a bit different than any other traditional turbo car. you've gotta cap off one of the vaccuum ports on the wastegate (the top one), as well as the electronic boost solenoid (the thing the top wastegate port is connected to from factory). then intercept the bottom vaccuum port of the wastegate and that vaccuum line to tie in your manual boost controller.
