ok lets see

ive tried unsuccessfully trying to up the boost by cutting the lower hose on the solenoid and fitting a dodgy bunnings bleed valve to the hose from the T peice and blocked off the hose connecting to boost solenoid.

i want to get rid of that damn vtec styles boost control where it hits 5psi straight and then hits 7psi when it reaches past 5000rpm

my friend suggest unplugging both hoses from the boost solenoid and T peicing them together and then attaching a bleed valve from that and unplug the boost solenoid.

would this work? worst thing that could happen is unlimited psi.

LOL

Firstly unplug the stock boost solenoid and forget about it!

then get whatever cheap dodgy bleed valve u want and plug the hose coming from the turbo wastegate to one side and the hose coming from the cooler piping into the other. Then u can play with the boost.

the bleed valve isent plugged into the ecu.

Once u take the tube from the turbo actuator off the stock solenoid, it wont work anymore anyway. U have to plug the bleed valve in the right direction from the ic piping to the actuator! A proper bleed valve will have an arrow indicating the direction, but u will have to experiment!!

U sure your wheels aint gonna fall off again??? hahahaha

i told u to do that man last week.. geez

here is how it works

intake side ---> bleed valve --> wastegate

done, its as simple as that.. remove stock boost solenoid and throw in bin (actually don't do that).. but u don't need it.

      Sounds good. Provided the panel is flat/level I'd be happy to start the painting process.  While you are learning, for sure you could do this. Its only paint, you can always sand it all back and start again. Its only your time and money on materials, but while you're learning, really its time and money spent on your education.  Once you know how to do this bodywork and painting, you won't want to waste your time and money on frivolous activities lol.

      Yep I will use a guide coat after putting filler, I will do it on the whole panel as I'm a beginner so chances I've made quite a few errors. In that photo, I think that was a low spot, I just for example said to pretend it's flat but I will put filler + guide coat after to assess where I'm at. Yep with that picture, the panel is wet as it rained when I took the photo. But all those scratches are completely smooth, I went over it with 240 grit and can't feel it, even with my nail digging into it. I was legit thinking to buy a 2k can and spray primer to see how it turns out but then thought to myself it's going to be a mess doing it haha. Good mention there. Thanks for all that info I think I know what to do next.

      Prior to laying down the primer, you need to make sure the surface is completely level. For example, based on this picture, I strongly suspect that the areas marked in blue are higher then the area marked in green.  If you spray primer over this entire area, then paint and clear it, the finished result will 100% show the low area. It will stick out like dogs balls. Unfortunately the paint won't magically level out the low areas as you lay it down.  Without seeing it in person, I expect that the green area will need to be filled, then use a guide coat and check that the entire repair area is level with a large sanding block.  With this picture, are you saying that even though you can see the scratches, the panel is in fact completely smooth and flat? If this is the case sure you could prep and paint it as it is.     The picture with the paint you described as blistering, it's hard for me to comment on from the photo alone. It looks like the panel is wet? Dunno, looks strange. Does the panel feel as smooth as glass when you run your hand over it? **** Going back to your question again, generally you would only sand the primer if you made a mistake while laying down the primer.  If the panel is prepped properly and you lay the primer down properly, you should not need to sand the primer.  This wouldn't work - Don't prep the panel. Spray primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas where the issues appear. Spray more primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas....... Yeah you'd go round and round in circles getting no where.
