Help: Boost Not Cutting On Standard Solenoid

[d_soljah]

hey all , im pretty mechanical minded and do all the work my self , but this one has got me fkd!

i was always running a apexi avcr since i bought the r33 (gtst s2) and decided to get rid of it .

now that im running it on the standard solenoid the boost doesnt cut and just goes a-wall .

everything seems to be correctly installed and ive tried 2 different working solenoids and it made no difference.

can any one point me in some sort of direction asto where to look , or if some one could post a pic of there completely standard engine bay so i can double check im running everything where it should be

that would be great.

so you are getting unlimited boost (boost goes off the gauge)?

how have you got it set up? the stock setup has a line coming from the intercooler pipe to a T piece. 1 of the lines off the T piece goes to the wastegate, the other to the solenoid. if you are getting unlimited boost then i'm guessing you have just got a line going from the cooler pipe to the solenoid and from the solenoid to the wastegate.

oh and the term isn't a-wall, it's AWOL (army abreviation for Absent WithOut Leave)

Check the plug to the solenoid with a multimeter, I find if the factory solenoids aren't energized (powered) they are stuck in a blocking mode which creates unlimited boost.

awal awol same thing >.< haha , thanks guys ill check it out tomorrow again.

but with the part about the line from the intercooler pipe , i remember seeing a line coming off it but it was blocked with a screw , i always had a r32 which made things so much easier... so thats where ive gone wrong!

If all else fails run your vacuum line straight to the wastegate, 7 psi constant.
