Boost Problems!
Hey guys, I am having an issue with some sort of boost or fuel cut with my '03 EVO after installing a MBC. My power upgrades are, K&N Intake system. RNR Intercooler Piping, HKS SSQV, RNR Turbo Back exhaust, & Forge Unos MBC.
Supposedly you can set the MBC to 1.4 or about 19-21 psi. When I set it to about 1.3 kgcm, I get some sort of boost or fuel cut. The car would just cuts out for a second or 2. So I remove the MBC, and put the stock vacum lines back, and the problem goes away. So I figured it was the MBC, so I buy the Forge one, I installed it according to Forge, Turbo/wastegate, and it starts doing it again but at about 1.2kgcm. So I decided to "T" it off the intake, and now I can get about 1.3 but I still sometimes get that boost or fuel cutout. Its so weird, my friend has the same setup and he is not getting a boost, fuel cut issue and holds about 1.4kgcm. Also I had the 1st MBC installed by RNR, they removed it when they couldn't figure out the problem. The Forge Unos was installed by the dealership friend of mine turbo/intake, and I just switched after getting that boost/fuel cut.
Is there anything I can checkout, do, or change?
Thanks to everyone who can help!
