So you still have the bleed valve setup? Put a ball bearing in there to block it if needed so it doesnt bleed anymore. The hose that goes to the stock solenoid has a restrictor in it so either dont use it or replace the hose at least.

Your setup may not work to the same boost as the last car. Turn it down to minimum and slowly wind it up.

I don't have a bleed valve at all, just the Blitz SBC and the standard boost solenoid. So from the T-piece to the stock solenoid I should use a new hose?

The stock solenoid IS the bleed valve. Thats how it works, by bleeding off some of the wastegate pressure through a 1mm restrictor. This needs to be removed completely in your setup and the blitz solenoid placed between the other two larger hoses, it cuts the pressure to the actuator altogether unless energised.

I can weld pretty well but MS Paint isnt my strong point. :blush:

Place the Blitz solenoid wherever you want it, run the OUT to the actuator and the IN to the intake near the BOV using new hoses. Use cable ties to stop the hoses blowing off.

Here's what Scott's talking about (I think, lol).

If you have a boost control system that uses a solenoid to interupt the flow to the wastegate, ie wastegate sees no boost whilst solenoid is closed & sees boost when it's open (normally pulses to maintain chosen boost pressure - one of the best ways to control boost IMO), then you need to take boost hose off the top of the T in the picture. Run that to IN of your solenoid. The OUT from your solenoid goes to the wastegate actuator.

It can be confusing. I've never seen an engine with so many vacuum/boost hoses coming off an intake system :wacko: .

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
