MBC isn't a good idea. As in winter you can get boost spikes. As the ECU can't control boost.
But it also depends if your having mapped to the MBC as it can be set just right.

sorry to drag up an old post but i reconnected up the 3 port today and the dump valve doesnt seem to want to kick in
with a very little blip on the accelerater i can see the dump valve starting to open but no noise even at 4000rpm,s still nothing , before i took the mbc off it would kick in at about 3000rpm,s
ive connected the pipes as above (thanks b13bat) so i cant seem to work it out ?
would pictures be of any help thanks again

Can you still hear it venting as it normally would when driving?
What was your boost gauge showing with the MBC, and whats does it show now?
Any sign of overboost at WOT?

i assume this is the right way round
i cant road test the car as its sorn at the moment but i did manage to drive it up the driveway and it struggled to run ? it kept trying to cut out and it was spluttering
lol
starting to give up lol just treated it to a new set of tyres and an alloy wheel refurb lol
sorry for being a pain and thanks again
i did try to resize the pictures but like all things today its just not happening

Can't see the numbers on the smaller pic mate, so i've coloured them.
Green=longest run, to turbo nipple.(pic 1 below)
Yellow=next longest run to wastegate actuator, you numbered it 2.(pic 2 below)
Red=Should go to airbox res, but as you have a ik fitted, it can be left to VTA
Turbo nipple, Green dot.
Wastegate actuator, Yellow dot.
Not because i think you have it wrong, but i can't make sense of the pic
