boost source comes off comprsser housing to amal, wen that source reaches the boost its set at chip the amal opens sending the boost to actuator opening it, just the same as mbc works, bleeds air till boost pressure is reached then opening sending it to actuator

Also when eng light is on its in limp mode, so will cut boost anyway, so running mbc in limp mode it will run what mbc/accuator is set too still, but only a dumb person would carry on booting it with the eng light on.

Clearly the steam vent proportioning jet cuts boost via the interstellar flux capacitor hyperdrive inertial dampening module. Only on impulse power mind

why i reply is beyond me at times


well, to be perfectly honest, at the moment that statement is entirely true. you do currently have an experience of no boost HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

PMSL, the amal valve is the ONLY way the ECU can directly control boost without messing with timing and fuelling. the ECU has set instructions within it of how exactly the valve should open at certain PSI. bypassing the amal valve wont do anything, all boost pressure will be sent to the actuator. and what about the bleed pipe from the engine intake?
