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

I followed the instruction on the solenoid maintenance thread and low and behold its fixed. no more surging and I have to say it feels even better than before. more responsive and quicker on the boost.suppose it had to be done after 100,000 of driving without a clean !thanks for the advice............ you guys are legends !Ern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wados Member 617 Member For: 20y 1m 10d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 25/12/07 09:51 PM Share Posted 25/12/07 09:51 PM had you driven it since wados? any comments regarding the difference??Sorry mate for the late reply superdan but was away on holidays.It mad a small difference but not to small that you dont notice it, The change is downlow with boost it comes on a little harder and also in an auto say your doing 60 and you give it a boot full then the boost comes on a little earlier and seems to pull a little harder just for a second or 2.

sneakypete83 Member 4 Member For: 17y 17d Location: Newcastle Posted 27/12/07 11:34 AM Share Posted 27/12/07 11:34 AM Hey all, Brand new member to the forum (new owner), just performed this tweak (admittedly I did have to remove the battery) and got a reasonable response from my BA with 93 grand on the clock. Seems to pull more evenly from lower RPM (used to have a pronounced 'kick' at 3000rpm) and generally has a better response to generous application of the right foot.Great tip, thanks very much, looking forward to getting into the boosted community.
