joe p mbc problems

[brennan]

Hey guys, I just installed my joep mbc and I can't seem to get it to go past 7 psi, maybe i'm not turning the nob enough or something but it just won't go past 7 psi, before I installed the mbc I had 5.9 roughly psi. I know I installed it right because I double checked and triple checked it,

Whats goin on

Help!!!

I have heard that you need to blow through the valve, before you put it on.. there is sometimes a little piece in it.. however, that would make theboost go too high...

hmmm.. I dont know...

Ok, guys, I think that I got it

Whenever I really punch it in 2nd or 3rd haven't tried 4th or 1st yet it spikes up to 9.5 then drops to about 7 is this about right? or is something screwed up.

well it sounds like my experiences with my turbosmart mbc

 

[brennan]

So is that what it is supposed to do?

no not exactly.
it seems like it's not turned up enough, it should hit 9.5-10 psi and and stay close to that. so just keep increasing it so you maintain 10 and spike at 12, that works for me. I ran a TT and an old street bike and smoked the TT, the bike and I were going 120 (in a 55) and he had to let out cause he couldn't pass me and there was a car in his lane

so there's really nothing wrong with mbc?
