Hi All,
Have fitted a boost valve (originally purchased for a Nissan200SX) between the Boost control solenoid and the turbo actuator.
Spiel on valve
It is of the spring/ball-bearing type with an ajustable screw which stops pressure reaching the turbo wastegate actuator thus preventing it opening thus increasing boost.
Results of fitting this were not quite as I imagined. Boost levels have not radically changed.
Needle is going into the white area, but not all the way across. I have been progressively closing the valve but no obvious improvement.
I'm wondering if the wastegate actuator is broken. I can move the arm manually - whilst there is resistance - I would have expected it to be stiffer. Is this normal?
Cheers
Chris
