Default anyone use a TurboXS MBC?

some wierd ---- has been going on...when i was at the dyno i think we had it up to like 10-12psi, but now the car isnt going above 10psi and the ------ screw is all the way out!!! and im pretty sure i had some room for more boost. i have it hooked up just like on the website, one side going into the TiAL and the other side going to a vacuum source on the back of the intake manifold... need to get this bitch up to 12-14psi for the track tomarrow

I used a TurboXs MBC with an internal WG and had no problems.

well tonight i put a different hose on the boost controler cuz it was going under the dizzy and getting oil all over it (shitty hose was soaking it in)...and turned down the boost controler about half way, still hitting 9psi...im thinking that is a good sign, but dont really want to test right now cuz its 5am

EJ1 Wilcox on here just bought one and it didnt work for ---- either. tial wg at 8psi normally suddenly was hitting tons more boost no matter where he set it. mine works fine.
