Don't you need a little more tuning experience with the GM solenoid? Once you install one don't you need to adjust the ECU before driving?

With a MBC you can pretty much hook it up, do a few pulls, set it then head to a tuner when you have all your mods installed.

yeah but u will still need to get tuned even after a MBC cause you'll be holding boost longer and its going to affect your a/f. The GM solenoid is the same price installed then a MBC and Reese Tuning have experience tuning w it!

Do you have your Xede controlling your GM boost solenoid?

its not that mbc's are soooo bad, its just you can have your cake & t it to with a ebc, especially the gm 3port

ON STOCK TURBO"S

the gm 3port or even oem ebc nay-sayers dont know how to use it to thier advantge.

Yeah, there are some people who have good luck with mbc's & there are shops/companies making loadds of cash for selling mbc's..........i dont make squat selling either, so i say what i say.

the oem emc is good when set-up correctly. the gm 3port offer consitancy of the oem ebc.


if your running a 35r, etc, a mbc will be fine, but with a ebc, you can just makes thing better.

enjoy

The gm sensors are limited to a certain boost level...those running 26psi+ should get a good ebc or mbc

I would disagree because of first hand experiences. There are some people I know running 28+psi and have had no problems on stock turbo using the GM BCS.
