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.

yeah, at first I was a little experimental with it, but after all the ---- that mbc put me through, I cut off about 1/4 of anb inch, I might made a mistake earlier sayin a whole inch, but it was like about a 1/4'. I did the same witht the threaded rod also. But i'm so siked that I finally got my turbo to boost the way i want it. sorry if i didn't post the setup, here
