Message	hello, i just installed my hallman MBC and i left the wastegate control solenoids in place. when i unplugged their connectors, the car now boosts at 7 psi (the MBC is still in its fully open position). now the car boosts at 7 psi. can you please confirm that my understanding is correct? i propose the factory wastegates actuators actually start to open at 7 psi and assuming there is no "safety boost" condition, the solenoids close a little bit to fool the actuator into opening at 10 psi. my target boost goal is 15 psi. now the solenoids are unplugged (permanently open) so the MBC has to +8 psi instead of +5 psi. is all this correct? if i'm right then everything is fine and i'm ready to start turning up the boost. BTW i monitor the ECU readings with my OBDI cable and there haven't been any trouble codes or detonation. TIA.

(n/m) - Black95 14:41:39 03/04/10 i reduced it to 15 psi, no detonation, think i'm OK? (n/m) - surfer31337 22:19:16 03/05/10 From what I've read, you may not hear detonation... - Black95 02:31:59 03/06/10 Yep, too high.... - Cuis-Z 17:29:59 03/04/10
