Default Finally got my civic to boost right...

After weeks of playing around with my homemade mbc, which doesn't for dodo, all I wanted was 7-8 psi. So i said,"The hell with the boost controller." I then took my internal wastegate off the turbo, and got myself a saw and cut off an inch of the damn actuator rod. Stuck it back the turbo and gave it a test run..."What do you know?" My car ran steady at 7 psi, and didn't spike one bit. Just wanted to shar it with ya, for those who doesn't want to mess with the mbc, and only want extra lbs of boost.
