No its not a new one mate, do you recommend a stock replacement or aftermarket? Is the initial boost a common sign of a worn out solenoid?
Many thanks
Jason

Jason

Quick update, as above i fitted the RICA 304, piped up the stock solenoid and filled up with 99 octane.....all seems okay :) :) :)
its pulling like a bloody train!!, boost hits around 18psi and...
Thanks for the responce :)
I would tend to agree, although the map on this ecu is unknown other than it came from Sweeden and was claimed to be a stage 3 tune, clearly isnt though ha. i have a...
Yeah that is a shame, thank you though :)
The videos where taken using my MBC, the issue is slightly worse using the stock solenoid :(
thanks

ive been out this morning and did a couple of videos of the boost gauge however these videos are a little crap! i did my best :) it easy to see the issue though -
you will see on my boost gauge...
Ill try and take a picture today but its simple enough to explain....the vac pipe comes straight off my compressor housing upto my MBC
Then straight to my actuator. Pipes are around the same length...
well things still not going well :( :( bloody cars!
right..... i set the actuator at 7.5 psi and refitted the MBC which is set at 16psi, it spikes then holds around 15psi till 4000k then drops to...
Ill try that today mate thankyou :) ill post up after the test run.
Jason
Hello. Thanks for the response :)
Im not sure whos map it is, i bought the ecu of eBay second hand, the guy had only ever used it with an MBC and had no problems and the ecu apparently was mapped...
hopefully that wont be the case for me :) fingers crossed!, im definitely being led to thinking its to do with the turbo because before i fitted the new turbo i ran the car in stock set up for a...
Thank for the responses, ill check the actuator today and see what its opening at.
And ill see about getting hold of some better vac pipes, and i do have another boost solenoid i could try out. i...

Right i hope you can help or have something to say and apologies if this has been covered before :)

Hello, thanks for your comment
I think i am being forced into the turbo area as you say, over the past couple of days ive conducted a few tests -
Removed and tested the stock actuator (opened...
Thats what i like to hear :) ill be there one day when i get it running okay again
Jason
Indeed there seems to be a leak somewhere, i have yet to try the actuator but ill make it one of my next jobs and see how the car responds to that :)
Thank you
Im fortunate to have access...
Thanks for the response..
I tested this after replacing it with a new diaphragm using a mitivac, i pumped it upto 20 inHg and it held for a satisfactory amount of time so im as confident as i can...
Hello everyone, havnt been on in a while so hope everyone is well !, and the cars too!! :)
Right.............
Ive got a few issues with the T-5 recently that are becoming annoying an worrying,...
