Stock 1G BOV upgrade

**Kracka** · 08-24-2005

You're fine, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a boost controller and keep it dialed in. I recomend the Joe P. MBC from www.boostcontrollers.com

Oh I misread the situation... you dont even have a MBC?

I remember when I had my stock 7bolt, and a boost gauge and some mods I was making like 14PSI in first, then in second it would go to 16psi/17psi in 2nd/3rd/4th/5th but I had upgrade I/C pipes and exhaust which I figured made the difference in pressure

I'm getting a MBC, I had one but it was a weird model so we didn't install it and I wanted the ball spring design S2kracka posted a link to. I should be getting it tomorrow.

The only thing that's weirding me out is (it could be my imagination) it seems like my vacuum has gone down like 1-2 PSI on idle, but I'm not 100% sure, that's not a sign of burned up exhaust valves is it?

My next step is to get an EGT gauge but I need to find a cheap exhaust manifold somewhere, maybe ported too.
