    i was just talking to a vendor and was asking about boost controllers(i have msbc-1)..i was told that it is good when it works,but it has its problems..i went on to ask about waste gate placement.i have (2) 1 at merge and (1) on side of cross over..what he suggested it put (1)wg on cold side on leave the other where it is,then told me to get manual controllers for boost controll.(i guess less headache no electronics to fail)what do the turbo gods like??remember this will be over 1000hp when done maybe around 1200.let em know what you think...don russell

    I think that with "only" 1200hp,(I can't believe I said that, lol) Just one large wastegate in the merge area would be enough. If you already have two then I guess it would work better.

    One wg and one bov. But if you have two and they are already installed leave em.

    no, i got a rebuild kit for my injectors and was asking about my set up and i was told that when you have one wg on the cold side(when manually controlling)it is more acurate that elec boost controller.but no one has any opions about that..don

    I think you have the bov and wg mixed up. You don't well actually you can use a wg on the cold side but I think you better rephrase your question.
