Boost Solenoid Maintenance

[Gasman]

its wierd it only boosts to 15 psi and falls back to 10psi. I have heard of uncontrollable boost with intercooler and exhaust mods but this does seem to be controlled. Any one had any experience with chiptorque in Nerang?

haven't heard much about those guys since the old days when they were tuning Excede chips pre edit

Its not really controlling the boost well if it spikes to 15 then falls back. You really want to get it on a dyno and find out if the AFRs are okay, that alone shouldnt cost bugger all. If they arent alright then your up for more money with tuning.

As for the tap to control flutter that to me would be an adjustable BOV so maybe that isnt standard.

nah its got the stock Bov still fitted, he said something about the wastegate.I have heard many guys stating that thier tuned T's drop a few psi after they spike.

I will get the check up done localy and If I need anything done I will shoot up to Brisy and have someone you guys recommend to fix it up. Nub question: what does AFR stand for?

[Buf-Phoon]

AFR = Air Fuel Ratio

[Gasman]

ahhh! thanks sir Buf

No spiking and falling off on my tune. Stock turbo, wastegate, actuator etc. Only mods= F6 intake, filter, cooler, zorst, injectors and intank pump.

YMMV of course, think the spike and fall off is caused by other mods?

it's been a while since I've done the boost solenoid maintenance actually, better get onto it!

easy to do and big results made my xr come on boost more smoothly

Maybe a stupid question but if I remove the battery will the radio reset because I have no clue what the code is?

[Gasman]

mine didnt reset, all the stations stayed in, just my fuel and speed averages were reset.
