only if you want to run higher or lower then 8 psi. I think that is what the 14b wastegate is set at.

you cant run lower. only higher. and it just Tees off your wastegate vaccume hose. easy as cake to install

I thought there was a way to make it run lower... I don't want to run 8 psi daily.

not with a MBC...you can shorten the wastegate arm to lower the boost a little. but you kill spool time a lot.

why dont you want to run 8psi? i do it everyday...50 miles a day. and i have 200,000 miles

I know you can run boost with high compression, but I would rather run 6 psi daily on 9:1 compression. Then tun it to 8psi on the weekends. I would get kinda paranoid if I ran 8 psi daily on that compression.

[Accord R33]

9:1 compression is not high by any means...stock f22 is only like 8.8:1 or whatever. you will be more than fine with 8psi, and it will be much more reliable because the wastegate will be more stable

How much do you think I could run before getting border line of bending a rod or something? I PM'd you too.

probably like 13-14 before shit starts to break...thats the highest i would ever go. but 8-10 is pretty safe

[Accord R33]

You can, but it requires getting rid of the internal wastegate and installing an external one.

if i use a mbc will i be able to run 10 psi with the stock 14b wastegate? i know it normally cuts off at 8 psi. can it be taken higher without replacing spring?
