Anyone have any DIY's for a MBC? I am not use to the Subaru stuff, i have only worked on GN

Do some research before you start just slapping stuff on the car. You admit your new to this so look around the site some there is a plethora of information. Also MBC are not a good idea for the STi, it's a hair more advanced than your GN.

More ADVANCED than a Grand National. General rule: the newer the car the more ADVANCED technology it has.

Please don't post how fast your car is in EVERY post. We understand it when we see your name.

Iwsti has a lot of info, do some research before you create threads.

You know, maybe you shouldn't bother searching for information. You obviously don't understand what you read anyway.

+1 for not installing a MBC. It's a great way to blow up your engine. A proper engine management system is the best way to start your power upgrades. The Cobb Tuning AccessPort (AP) is popular on here, UTEC, Hydra, and Ecutek are also popular. Since it sounds like you are big into drag racing the UTEC, Hydra, and Ecutek might be more up your alley since they have things like launch control that are good for drag racing

(but bad for the longevity of the engine, drivetrain, etc.

)

Check out some of the threads of interest in the Enginer, Power, and Performance forum and the ECU forum for more information.

Buy an accessport. want to go further, but and accessport and a exhaust, then look in the midwest forums for a protuner local to you.

Thanx for the help anyway, i have a friend who helped me out. The MBC is installed and i turned the boost up a little. It makes a huge difference.

If you research more, you will realize that you are putting your motor in jeapordy. It's not that simple.

+1. Please for your engine's sake get proper engine management and remove the MBC!

I'd recommend you read for a while before modding, but it appears I'm too late. Enjoy it, and please don't take it in as a warranty claim when things go bad.

Don't forget a blow-off valve.
