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.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
