of the DI cassette, and ask here.
You will save hundreds by doing these really simple things yourself. The DI is removable with the tool in the kit, spark plugs too, though I use a socket wrench. Both DI and plugs are easy.
The BPC solenoid is on the right side of the radiator as you are facing it. Very easy to remove, and use penetrating oil and shake it. Am told that WD40 is not really a lubricant, so the oil may be better. Would not be surprised if the BPC is tight, they don't like to sit. A new one from one of the site sponsors, eEuroparts, or Sobstory, or others probably costs around $200. From a junkyard, you can get one for less than $50.
Townsend's site has a good description of how to diagnose a bad BPC. Pretty much starts with the boost not getting above the middle of the orange on your gauge.
