I then thought wouldn't it be easier to put a t peice further on on the hose that connects to the boost solenoid and install the t peice of some sort then access would be easier.Just an idea. Perhaps someone more mechincally minded could say if this is a viable solutionI have attached a picture with my ideaEDIT:blue t squiggle is the proposed t peice and red circle is where I thought I could be located. Of course there would be some sort of thing to block the 3rd hole on the t peicefeedback??? Edited 28/12/06 04:20 AM by BA_XR6Turbo_Ute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Of course there would be some sort of thing to block the 3rd hole on the t peicefeedback???←haaa I'm calling you Mr squiggle from now on!!!!good idea, but once you get the hose of once it's not too bad after.My hose was on so tight that is was actually hard to get back on and I took half the car apart to do it, so I can see why some people have problems. Also the solenoid will unclip from the bracket once you see how the clip works. A small problem with my T (6sp man) is that when cruising and I put my foot down, sometimes the car doesn't react and then suddenly hits boost and takes off. This may be linked to the solenoid and I'm monitoring if the car does it again.Great post Zap...... next a guise to manifold torquing. I'll do this in the next month and take some pics. Cheers all!!
