Factory Boost Solenoid Info

[slayer]

Hi Skyzerr33, do I need to do something with the map sensor to hook up the bleed valve?

I just removed the line off the intake piping when ran to the boost solenoid, and blocked off the other line and then (to keep it clean) just looped a piece of vacuum line between the in and out connections on the solenoid.

I will get out and have a look tomorrow, perhaps I have disconnected something I shouldnt have? But surely if the MAP sensor was not connected correctly the car would be basically undrivable?

Hmm interesting - need to wait for sunlight to have a look

I think that map sensor your talking about (next to the brake booster) only functions to operate the factory boost gauge.

Sorry to drag up an old thread..

my mechanic recons I should put in a T piece (running aftermarket boost gauge which i disconected the stock one) to plug back in the MAP sensor (which drives the stock boost gauge)

He recons there is a fault reported by the ECU...

can anyone confirm/deny this?

HI all,

I know that this picture (from the SDU days) really helped when I was trying to put my controller on.

Enjoy
