Turbosmart is manual boost control valve, not solenoid Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: I haven't seen an aftermarket one yet, Sam (Merc Mechanic), Wed, 10 Sep 2003 01:56:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Can I assume that you are using the "plumb-back 25mm" model, which looks like a direct replacement for the BPC valve itself?
After reading on this board of a few people blowing their engines from overambitious boost settings, I'm a bit reluctant to bypass the electronic control on the boost, activated via the solenoid. As you said, "it holds boost in situations where the factory one would start winding boost back." There are valid reasons why the factory one scales down, i.e. knock, brakes, cruise, temperature, etc. On the other hand, the factory system obviously has a few problems and has a high level of discussion on failures. Would like to hear more about your experience with the turbosmart, if possible.
