Car looking good!
Your lucky you managed to find the sweet spot on the mbc so quickly! It took me a few attempts to find the effective range.

Your right Dave, I was lucky. I set it about half way to start with and that was circa 1 Bar. A few little adjustments and its circa 1.5-1.55 Bar now. Just need to log ot to confirm 
What dou you think of the logs on the previous page, Dave?
You going to stop by in Crewe on Sat if you get there at a good time?

Its a Manual Boost Controller, Mike. It replaces the N75 and controlles boost much better then it too.
It should hopefully allow me to hold a little more boost higher up the rev range
Just cheapo Ripspeed ones from Halfords mate. I like them because of the little kick plate they have on the drivers mat, stops you putting a hole in them un 2 months
Damo - how much, roughly, is the MBC? Any reason for that particular one over others?
I'm toying with the idea of getting one to test my dodgy boost issues, may use it permanently if it's not going to throw fault codes etc (leave the N75 electrically connected etc)

car is looking great damien, pleased to hear about the interview too
Cheers James
Doubt it as I think the N75 acts like a potentiometer, giving different voltage/resistance to vary the boost.
I might be wrong though..

the car looks amazing (as usually)
good luck with the interview too mate!!
the MBC is not going to impress you. It will maintain a little more boost but make sure you log your ignition timing and your Lambda Factor (blocks 03-20-31).
I have used the boostvalve version MBC and I was convinced that N75 worked better as the car was also not as good in high rpms.
try it out a little bit and compare its function to N75

Damo id drop the timing back further when doing a track day, more timing might increase det which equals high egts.
I always knock mine back a few degrees for track days to be safe and to keep the AIT's down to a minmum as the car runs crazy hot compared to road logging.
Id be happier seeing 2's at the max. in a 4th gear.

I was planning on running it @ 1.5' (currently running @ 2.25') with octane booster.
Not realy planning on going all out at the track day too as its my first time
Well, its been a very good weekend. First I went for a interview on Friday and was offered the job before I left the building Then straight down to Crewe for a over night stay before Oulton Park track day on Sat.
Sat morning was very icey and VERY fogy which restricted the time the track was open. All in I think I done about 18-20 laps in 3 sesions, all 3 sesions cut short due to the red flag coming out because of people either blowing up or falling off the track....
The car was faultles all day. I struggled for grip coming out of the corners, a combination to poor front tyres and a greasy track. The sun came out for the first sesion after lunch and there was lots more grip. I done circa 8 very hot laps in theis sesion and pushed the car very hard, so hard that once I came in the brakes were nearly on fire. Smoke was coming through the air vents so I had to drive round the paddock to cool them down. They was no brake fade at all and the pedal was still very strong, so they must have been on the limit.....
Here are some pics from the circuit..

Looking good! The car is almost as dirty as mine atm
btw, which interface did you use for Lemmiwinks / Unisettings? I logged my knock sensors the other day, 0.0 all the way through, but it's a china interface of some sort. Works just fine with VAGcom 704 and older, but Unisettings can't communicate with the ECU, so no adation channel modss for me
