does your boost gage go to before cutoff with the MBC? Mine took a full six turns (one at a time) to get into the 25% red zone. It started out at mid orange with no turns. Seven to eight turns got it up to near 50% red where fuel cutoff began (based on outside temp, cooler weather - more frequent). I was getting 25% into the red without the MBC. The experience I had shows peak boost performance is about the same (if you stay below fuel cutoff levels) with or without the MBC. What the MBC does provide is quicker spoolup in any gear and makes the car more forgiving if you find yourself one gear too high.
I used the full length factory hose from the turbo, possibly even quicker spoolup if I cut half of the length off or substuted a shorter hose on both sides to shorten the loop. Is this recommended? Turbo hose is about 15" long, hose to wastegate is about 6" long.
Now that I cant move to ECU from the 94 to the 99, maybe I will save some money and be content to play with the MBC some more...
