Smoke them tyres Member 557 Member For: 17y 2m 14d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 15/09/09 09:09 AM Share Posted 15/09/09 09:09 AM Guys,Seeing that this solenoid only limits the rate of boost increase to the engine (not full boost), has anyone defeated / removed it and what has been their experience? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion, would it stop boost tailing off in the top end or is this due to flow restrictions placed in there by Ford?cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
