What are the advantages of running MBC by itself & also MBC/N75 together?

Default I run an MBC w/ N75 on K03s....

The advantage of having an MBC/N75 together on K03s is that you control how much peak boost you make. It is nice to be able to alter this depending on the situation (track, drag strip, daily driving, etc)....

The advantages of going MBC only are the same as MBC/N75 plus you run slightly more boost in the higher RPMs (I don't consider this an advantage since our tiny turbos can barely handle it)....

Would this in effect "chip" your car?crank up the boost?

Default No. You will cut throttle if you go too far beyond the requested boost levels.

Plus, the chips effect more than just boost levels.

Default I'm running MBC solo with K03's. It's fast... but probably won't win any reliability contests :)

I have the turbos running at the ragged edge of the compressor map throughout the rev range. A TCD is required, otherwise the ECU uses the throttle to limit boost.
