Just pull the f*cking hose, and fish with an extension on the wd-40 can, and presto. I used some old speaker wire, that I pulled thew innards out of.

Manual Boost Controller? aka bleed valve?Care to elaborate why you use this rather than the solenoid? You got me interested←Im not going into any theroies of why they work better as I'm sure it will open up some lame ass dribble-a-thon, but.. I've heard the solenoid is slow to react, and cant be controlled well at its max duty cycle ( this is most likely dribble too )But at the end of the day, Ive changed to and from and it always hits max boost faster and harder with the mbc... and quite a few that has ridden in the car say it comes on boost dam hard. I'm not saying that it boosts earlier in the rpm range, it just goes from 0 to 13psi faster... and I can adjust the boost without having to flash a new tune in.An ebc with good quality solenoid would be better again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if I need to do anything different to the xr6 turbo seeing that the typhoon's come with the alarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
