Can you put an MBC inside the car?
I've been thinking about this, I'd really like to put my mbc inside the car opposed to under the hood.
When trying to adjust boost its soo annoying getting outta the car,popping the hood, turning it just a hair only to find that its not enough or too much.
Anyways i could run vac hose insde the car but I heard that it would cause boost creep. If its true I wont, if its not then i may have to try it.....

good question! theirs some guy over here that has one of the fastest cars in town. its a gsr with a drag 3 turbo kit. he has the turboxs manual boost controller running from the engine bay to inside the car. i guess he's been running like that for awhile and i dont know if he has any problems with it... i think i will try that too to ease the walking back and forth to get the boost turned up.

I've never tried it myself. I'm sure the boost spikes will be fun. If I were to do it, I would run one line from the actuator to the MBC in the cab and take the other end directly from the intake so the line doesn't have to be 37 feet long. Just block off the port on the compressor. Only one way to find out if it works. Let us know how it goes.

Good point but again you forget that I'm not a honda, it would it would be shorter to go back to my turbo compressor housing becasue of where my exhaust manifold is..
So it will probably create boost spikes though? My vac hose for it is almost 4 ft or so already i bet sine i have it running out away from the turbo to make it easier to adjust..... i do get some spike but only when easing into the gas very lightly and letting rpm's build

Ah, that's right, you're one of those J body guys. :P Try it out and see what happens. I bet it doesn't make a noticable difference.
