Hey guys, I was just reading aqauriuz6's post about the stock boost gauge and how he modified the stock boost solenoid to give 7psi all the time. I am wondering how this is done, and if it has any detrimental effects. any help or ideas would be appreciated.

On your stock solonoid there is a couple of wires going to it. Cut the black one and earthi it to your chasis somewhere. I earthed mine on the pod filter bracket.

Make sure its a good earth.

What ive noticed is i get full boost now at low rpms. I dont get more boost just get the stock max level straight away

enjoy

Actually i'm in a good mood right now so ive taken the time to scan the dyno graph i got today before and after the simple mod was done. Mind you, before the mod i had a single line running from the intake line to the turbo actuator...

The Green line is before the mod, the blue line is after the mod.

The red line is before the safcII was tuned, but thats another story.

This graph is torque:

Just do it!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
