MBC+A(Anticipator) for Saab 9000 Setup Instructions
Installing the Mounting Plate to the Car The mounting plate is shipped to you with the MBCand APR mounted and connected with “T”Connectors. The APR is shipped to you closed, so when adjusting later in the process, you will berotating the APR bonnet clockwise after pulling the bonnet out to unlock it. This will be explained later inthe directions.Locate the existing hole at the front of the car as shown, as this will be used to mount the plate to thecar. Place the mount underneath the hole and the washer and bolt goes through the hole then through the top of the plate and nut* underneath which isattached to the mount. You will see the existing hole in which you will use *The Nut is attached to the plate by epoxy or hot glue,neither of which is strong enough to hold when you torque the bolt down. It is used to help with fitment of the bolt ontothe nut as it is a tight spot to do so. When the mount is secured it will look like this and now you can attach the WG hose. Connecting the hoses to the MBC+A This illustrates which hoses get connected to where.The Bottom port where is say “Connect to Turbo” isthe inlet side of the kit,Where it says “Connect to the Wastegate Actuator” isthe outlet side of the kit.For T-5 Engines, this is your Boost Pressure ControlValve (BPC) or also known as the APC solenoid.There are three hoses attached to it. This illustrates where each hose goes to or comes from. The Top hose, labeled turbo, comes from the turbo compressor.The middle hose goes to the waste gate actuator. The third hose goes back to the air intake before the turbo.This third hose will not be disturbed.DO NOT CUT ANY OEM HOSES.Remove the Hose off the BPC from the Turbo (top hose) and connect the straight hose coupler to it andthe extension piece of vacuum hose and connect it tothe bottom Wye (black one in picture above) Run the hose under the radiator hose down to the bottom ofthe mount. The couplers are attached to the extension hoses when shipped. Use zipties on both sides of couplers.Then disconnect the hose going to the WGA and connect the other straight hose coupler and the extension piece of vacuum hose and connect it the outlet wye (white one in picture) ** NOTE: The extension hoses are sent to you long so youcan decide the best route to the mount. Keep your hoses short and rout them the shortest distance to the wye’s. Take the 3” inch long piece of supplied vacuum hose and plug off the two hoses you just removed from the BPC to keep the BPC clean should you ever want to return the car to stock or decide to use a modified ECU that requires the use of the BPC.
