Well, according to these forums, BOVs are the most important FORCED INDUCTION part of the car.
No offense dude, but if you are new to skylines take your time and just browse these forums, you will find enough info about most things.
Hence the sig I figured people should have trillions of them lying around after fitting aftermarket boost controllers. Blowing into it? Hmmm... I m not sure itll prove anything.
Hmmm.... Yeah... This is on R33 Gtst.
I tried to rewire the bleed valve my car came with and hook up the stock solenoid as a fuel consuption experiment. I hooked up everything to the solenoid and went for a drive. There was no wastegate at all The boost just went through the roof. I tried swapping the hoses on the solenoid but to no avail.
This is a diagram of how I did it.

Where it says (cant remember) on the diagram:
* One is where the bleed valve is hooked up at the moment
* Another is blocked off at the moment.
I am at work so I cant check any ideas straight away.
Does this sound like the solenoid is gone? Makes sense to me. If the outlet is blocked off then the wastegate would get whatever pressure is in the hose (athmospheric most likely) and will keep boosting. Can I take it apart and fix it?
Ditto. There have been waaaaay too many threads recently that are simply rice. Like for example 10 threads a week in the Forced induction section about atmo blow-off valves and how to do whoop-di-di-doo-pssssh (flutter). PLus there are all sorts of threads about LED taillights, neons, etc etc.
I reckon it will be heaps funny to read the rice forums. "Omah, how do I connect blu led lite 2 my ign switch? PLZ HLP OH NOES!!!"
OMG RRRRUUUUNNNN!!!!! Hehe!!! Pure evil! Just kiddin. I used to park in B10 when it opened, but no longer, it sucks. I think I am going to move to the big multistorey car park next to the ABC building.
