The MBC was installed over a week ago, but poor weather prevented me from testing it until recently. Can someone confirm this setup?

The wastegates are originally teed together, and a hose connects from the tee to the barb connector of the passenger intake pipe.

The hose to the passenger intake pipe was disconnected and fed to the MBC, and the MBC connects to the connector of the intake pipe.

So far I'm at 6 full turns on the MBC and have yet to see more than 7 PSI. This is a partial to full throttle test in 3rd and 4th.

[EDIT] Will try to tap into the back of the intake plenum as a boost source, which is where the boost sensor is currently connected this weekend. Hopefully this will resolve the MBC problem.
