I just reckon that boost solenoid maintenance is not all that and a bag of potato chips....

If the hoses are plugged in the wrong way round you could be just hitting your head against a wall...

Is it in good health?was it doing this when he tuned it, or just all of a sudden dropped in boost?

BB. Member 69 Member For: 17y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 13/03/09 10:40 PM Author Share Posted 13/03/09 10:40 PM Utes done 80,000 km, but majority of its life its flap was jammed open, Headsex soon fixed that. From what I am told turbo is in really good condition.Yes, when he was tuning it, 12 psi was the highest it would get to using very high duty, he said they way its acting is like a 9 psi actuator.I took exhaust off this morning after the cat (bloody loud) and flashed a .1 duty tune in, it only just gets to 10 psi then back down to 9 psi where it holds.After lunch I'll change the reference line off the actuator to run without the boost solenoid.
