Default Is it possible to drive w/out a N75 w/ a MBC only setup for

~5 miles??

The ambient pressure valve snapped off so I need to go pick up a new n75 from the dealer. AND it appears as though the valve had been broken before and jb welded back on. :-/

Default depends. were you running mbc in paralell before?

1) the mbc must have a bleed hole
2) the n75 must still be plugged in electronically in order to not trigger a cel

Default I was mbc only, yes the mbc has bleed hole and...

if I just connect the n75's clip and plug the ambient pressure hole, I'll be ok driving the distance?

Default well i dont know which hole that is

if the ambient pressure hole is the one that stays hooked up on the n75, then plugging it should be ok for now. just make sure its plugged on the hose too, and leave it plugged in electronically.

Default Hey, so you don't have a heart attack

Get prepared: My dealer charges around $120 for new N75 valves! If you have time to mail order you'll save a few dollars. I think I screwed the one up that I bought a few months ago by trying to adjust it.. so I bought another one yesterday. I think you can make it 5 miles w/mbc. You could also just connect the compressor and wastegate hoses to each other, for 5psi.
