Split Second MBC

[Klobi-One-Kinobi]

Just a feeler for my like new Split Second manual boost controller, which I believe can be used in any 1.8T.

Had it in my GTI for over a year and no problems. Its a good idea to have a boost gauge so you can fine tune it. Split second claims 35hp & 45ft/tq at the wheels at 14.5psi. But my boost gauge shows it holding 17psi. A little less power than a good chip, but if you want to retain your warranty I think this is the way to go.

C1 disconnected it when they installed my stage 2, which comes with its own software. So I dont really have a use for it.

Offers or interest?

What use would this have on a chipped 1.8T?

On a chipped car, you could use it for lowering boost...

I was thinkin that but wanted to make sure that was possible,Thx Kris

Yep, boost can be adjusted in real time from approx. 6psi to 17psi. Not sure how it would work with a chipped car though.

Kris,you've been experimenting with this sort of thing for a while now, right?

Yeah it is a tricky business. You could even use your cpmtroller to adjust boost even higher with some modifications.

I have tried two different MBC setups but both died because I used cheap (Home Depot quality) parts.
