Boost Problem With Standard Solenoid

[EeLeYe]

Hey All,

I used to have a bleed valve boost controller running 13psi no problemo and have recently gone back to the stock solenoid.

I have spliced the ground cable to a switch that allows me to choose low or high boost mode.

On low boost, it runs at about 7psi (I have a bellmouth 3" exhaust) so it's all normal there;

When I flick the switch to high boost mode, the boost just keeps increasing instead of stopping at the "high boost" limit it should (in this case, ~9psi)

I've checked many times in case I hooked up the solenoid incorrectly by comparing it with other people's skylines, everything is correct.

Does anyone have an idea as to what it could be??? I've used the search engine...... still nothing.

All replies are appreciated,

Elias

have you got the factory restrictor in the in or out line of the soleniod? without it the soledoid will bleed off all pressure and its free boosting

Does the restrictor sit in the line going back to the intercooler piping or the line leading back to the actuator? It may be missing...
