Hi,

That sounds a touch on the low side, is the gauge accurate? Might be worth cleaning the boost solenoid with some brake cleaner these can get dirty, nothing to loose, search on here for details of how to do it.

Defo check the guage. My car was mapped on the rollers at 1.1bar but my guage reads 1.4bar. I put another one in and it read correctly.

Hi mate,

Cleaned the solenoid and still no joy, i suppose it could be the guage, im not running a dump valve at the moment and again i still dont get much chatter, just hear a flutter through the induction. What shall i try next, ps what DV shall i get? im after a recirc, my standard one broke. cheers

Hi,

I have a Bailey VTA one on mine bought from Rally design they also do recirc but I have not tried it. If i was to buy another I would go for something like a Forge one as it seems most people use these. Recirc too as the noise gets tiresome after a while.
