I wasn't too sure on how much WD40 I should actually put in. I didn't want to over do it.Took it for a quick spin but didn't really notice anything major. I will take it for a longer drive tomorrow.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 2m 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/07/08 02:03 AM Author Share Posted 02/07/08 02:03 AM Adam,This job is not designed to increase power, only restore lost power.The main noticable difference is the boost comes on quicker, it does not increase the boost.I need to do it to my car again as the boost feels lazy or laggy. You only need to spray for 2 seconds as you want to lubricate, not flood the solinoid.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
