SHMIKO_S14A New Member 22 Member For: 6y 8m 22d Posted 02/08/17 03:11 PM Share Posted 02/08/17 03:11 PM Hey guys, the boost solenoid is currently bypassed on my BA XR6T motor (straight out of compressor housing and into stock wastegate actuator). It was done by the previous tuner for some reason. What are the consequences of this and should I reconnect the solenoid? Can this cause boost spikes and additional lag by not having the solenoid hooked up and running purely on wastegate spring pressure? Cheers in advance.

I might have to enlist your tuning services when it comes to getting the final tune done on my car when she's complete. I've heard good things. Hoping to crack 300kw, have done walbro 255, 60lb dekas, xforce 4 inch dump to 3.5 fatback with 100 cell, PWR fmic and need to do valve springs next. Would anything else be needed to get there besides a strong transmission which mine will soon have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
