Boost Solenoid Maintenance

[typhoon_freak]

shutup u..

[MYBAXRT]

I just got the capa flash tuner but when I put the tune on I started to get a very fast tapping sound coing from around the fuse box under the hood. and some one said from here that its the boost solanoid that's sh*t its self.

so I have 2 questions

1. where is the boost solanoid and what does it look like ( pics would be great if anyone has any).

2. how much it costs for the part and to get it fitted (can I do it my self?)

thanks robert

There is a boost solenoid thread. Try this before you change it

Have another read of the other thread you started Robert, they were not saying it is the solenoid that is the problem. seventytwo suggested that it may be something in the tune that is affecting the boost solenoid.

Flash the car back to the stock tune and have a listen to see if you still get the same sound, and let us know

Crikey!

The ticking solenoid was an issue with Edit when it first came out way back when. My ute did this. SCT fixed the issue and dealers then updated their software and in turn our tunes to fix the issue. If you've got this issue then I'd guess the software your tuner is using must of never been updated.

It's a tune problem.

If you are using Xcal 2 or 3 , when you load in your tune select user options and adjust wastegate Duty to 100%.

That fixed mine, it is appranetly something to do with settings in the tune.

You have to adjust the other settings to suit if you want to run less wastegate duty.

A experienced tuner should know this. If you want to run less boost you will need

to tell your tuner to make the adjustments to suit what duty you want to run.

All I need to find out with mine once my new turbo and manifold go on is why with my adaptive learning

turned off my car keeps adjusting itself to 10.9AFR's at 0% Throttle Position, Idle of Throttle cruise.
