Default 98 V70 GLT

Hi everyone i recently purchased a 98 V70 GLT and i am quite happy with it. I have a MBC laying around and i wanted to know if i could use on this car? i searched but couldnt really find a clear answer. So i wanted to know if it was safe to use a MBC and at what boost you could do it at?
Also are there any other mods that need to be done to accompany an MBC?

I am coming from a WRX that i modified quite a bit so i have some experience in this area

Thanks for any insight or help

Yes you can, but they are not the best way to raise boost.

12-15 PSI is safe only if you have a real boost gauge installed.

If you want to raise your boost I suggest an ECU upgrade. Safest way to up your boost.

15psi on a lpt is a bit high. You can use and MBC and get yourself a boost gauge. I use a prosport boost gauge and its quit nice. I boost around 10psi, but am moving up to a 16t and will boost higher then.
