Can just about do it pulling hose off the top of the solenoid by itself but I move overflow bottle & unclip its mount instead to make it easier.

Trent0 The Toxic Rocket Donating Members 574 Member For: 14y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 03/03/13 09:33 AM Share Posted 03/03/13 09:33 AM I just tried this. Car feels like it has a bigger tune. Boost is more crisp. spools quicker.but.........Boost spiked to 25psi and then went off the guage (30psi reading). . . .So why does that happen??
