Ah, so he's got to do a bleed system, correct? I've never used an internal gate, I like using external so you have more options and control.

Yeah I have the same boost controller as this guy and I haven't gotten it to work right on my 14b internal gate. When I hook it up according to the instructions it makes the wastegate never open.

if its an internal wastegate you wouldn't need the T would you? just install the boost controller between the wastgate and vacuum source.

TorganFM

I tired that too, but it didn't work either. For the T I have the vacuum hose off the mani going to the non-arrow side of the T, then on the arrow side I have that going to the WG nipple. The red nipple that says "to wastegate side port" in the pic above I have hooked to the boost controller. I tried several different arrangements, they all resulted in humongous boostage.

Like that but instead of coming off a nipple on the turbo to read boost it has the intake manifold plumbed in.
I'll try it the way you suggest, with just the BC inline with the intake and wastegate.

Is it necessary to use the boost controller. I got one for my d16y7 setup with a t3 but i dunno if its necessary to use?

TorganFM

It's necessary if you want to turn the boost up...

180whp goal with t3 turbo on stock d16y7. Im tunning with safc2 and vortech supercharger btm

killabee.

so, can i just buy a different mbc that isnt "bleed" type like the one i have? what kind of mbc would use just a regular TEE?

TorganFM

I have no clue, but I'd need one too. I don't think Donald's mbc will work with my internal gate. I'll just wait until I upgrade to an external.
