freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 18y 23d Gender: Male Posted 17/03/09 10:44 AM Share Posted 17/03/09 10:44 AM Hi guys I have an 03 XR6T it's 5spd manual.. the other day I did this "boost solenoid matinence" thing which involved unplugging the wastegate line to the solenoid and spraying WD40 in both the line and solenoid.. put it all back together and fark what a difference,, boost kicked in early and it had better response.. today it feels like it's holding back and it's not responding like it was the other day.. im hoping the pipe hasnt came off but it doesnt feel like its boosting anymore then last time.. I was driving before and strched out 3rd abit and it had a miss at 3,200rpm.. sometimes when I come to a quick stop the revs drop down to 3/400ish then back up to normalany ideas?P.S. hurry up Mr.Rudd with my cash,, I wanna tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for solenoid lube, you could also try a black stripe on the bonnet or a rabbits foot on the rearview mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local tuner did about 5 of these for customers free of charge but did not actually do it. The customers were very happy with the "noticable" improvements.The BA valve springs are soft as. When I gunned my BA XR6T and stopped hard the revs would die and it would sometimes try and stall. Valve springs were the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
