Tons of boost without APC solenoid. Posted by K-Saab [Email] (#1142) [Profile/Gallery] (more from K-Saab) on Wed, 26 Feb 2003 20:50:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
To this point I've only had base boost (1/3 in to the yellow). Following the Bently, I checked to see if my APC solenoid would allow air flow through the left valve when energized. There was no click or change in airflow. I removed the solenoid & went for a spin. Right away there was boost, boost & more boost. I backed off when the needle was 1/3 into the red. It seems that my APC solenoid was bad all along.
Questions: How much does an APC solenoid sell for?
Is a used one sufficient?
Is my wastegate closed?
I was very satisfied with the power, but could hear the engine starting to ping when the guage entered the red zone. I'm running a self tweeked APC and a 3.0 bar FPR. Do I need to run the larger injecters to avoid the lean out during heavy boost.
Thanks for all your help.
