Hi all iv now fitted a boost gauge and im a bit concerned of fiting a dawes device ie MBC . As my car is only boosting at 0.6 it is a my99 turbo wagon can any one give me some info on how much boost to safely run at as I cant afford a remap and dose the mbc go in between the turbo and wastegate if anyone could put a picture up I would be most grateful thanks

0.7bar is standard boost you can run it up to 1.1 bar safely fella



90' bend at the bottom goes to the actuator the other end to the turbo wind it most of the way out then close it up for more boost
