boost solenoid fail?

[pdidily6401]

yup, how critical is it to replace the "k" brace the sits between turbo and engine mount, seen a couple of comments where they have not put it back on.

I just leave it off, personally. Never had a problem as long as you tighten the manifold bolts/nuts often enough.

Technically you could drive around with 3 wheel nuts per wheel if you wanted to.

Ok new actuator fitted turbo smart 7.5 psi all good boost wise now not exceeding 8psi on gauge decided to give car a good run am now at bottom of South Island and what days know engine just cuts out while idling along it turns over good but won’t fire towed to garage no fault codes registered have ordered new fuel pump as mechanic thinks this is issue any advice 

 

What days was whaddayaknow

Swap the fuel pump and let us know. I'm sure the mechanic would have listened to it priming or rather the lack of it priming so you should be sweet after this.

 

It should be pretty cheap too as the pump doesn't cost much and it doesn't take long to install.

Yup he has given me the run of the garage so going to pull pump tomorrow can hear it prime but no pressure in the line

 

 disconnected at pump and turned key could hear pump prime but no fuel pressure

Mebbe it's got a busted line from the pump in the tank. You'll soon see anyway.

And sure enough pulled fuel pump and hose from pump to top of housing was disconnected refitted and fastened with hose clamp and have driven some 600k’s back with no issues

Good job on getting it sorted... It's a reasonably common thing to occur when fuel pumps are installed.
