OK ppl I have read the DIY section on this and I maybe a little slow. But first is the wire we cut the black or white as I have been given both suggestions. I have done the black wire option on my Stagea and not sure if is has worked (don't have boost gauge). My other Q is do i ground it from the solenoid or do I earth it proir to it going to the ECU and leave the Black From the solenoid hanging in the breeze with no connection.

Can someone with the smarts clear this up for me. From my reading of the DIY it is the Black wire but it doesn't tell me which side to earth wire coming from solenoid of wire to ECU.

A pic of the wires cut on a stagea would be great.

Cheers in advance, ICE

If u 't' the black wire halfway between the plug and solenoid, then run that 't' wire straight 2 the body with good earth. U should notice the difference the first test drive. It will 'shot' off the line from a standing start quicker than prior 2 doing mod, plus there won't b a lift/ serge in boost from 4500-5000 rpm because it is already on the higher setting (due 2 mod.). Hope that helps.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
