Yes, keep ambient pressure hose on MBC and don't disconnect electronically.

Default One hose goes from boost MBC to WG, one goes from MBC to turbo boost pressure and the other...

is the one I am not sure about, its the one that recirculates in the pcv hoses. Do I just plug this or leave it on the N75? I just plugged it and took the N75 out of the car and it ran fine although with the MBC set to 21 PSI it didn't pull as hard as it did without the MBC but it was much more smooth and held 19psi to 6500rpm. Thanks for any more help, I don't have a laptop so for now you guys are my tuners.

Default No code or CEL for N75 not plugged in electornically? The 3rd hose is for ambient pressure.

Most people leave N75 in the car with 3rd hose on N75 and N75 still plugged in electronically.

Default Hmm, very good question that I can't answer...never pressure tested since going MBC only, no reason.

I was actually going to ask Piggie if he'd do a quick pressure test since it's been quite a while. If it happens, I'll be sure to let you know his secret. Until then, I'm not of much help.

Default I just swapped in an N75. But I'm kinda confused on the point of the bleed hole, but I guess I

just need to stfa, because to me it just seems like a big boost leak.
