right ive been haveing boost probs so i thought i would check all the pipes ect.

took the airbox and piping so i could get a good look. from what i can see theses 2 pipes on my boost solinoid dont seem to attach to anything the 1 at the top and the 1 underneath

the car did have an aftermarket BOV and i have took this off now.
have the 2 pipes from the boost solanoid been disconeted and replaced with the blue piping for some reson and iff so do i just take it off and put the boost pipes back on . iff not where should these go

hope this make some sence

 

Yep they do

1st to the top amd 2nd to the bottom iirc

Take it you had 0.7 bar boost before?

 

so i can take the blue pipeing off and burn it and just attach the normal 1s from the boost solanoid back in .no 0.4 bar at least thats a start will look at other pipe for cracks ect

cheers mate

 

Looks like you may of been running a closed loop cucit one of the techies will confirm this
KIP

 

what dose that mean and do

can a techies please help

 

Closed loop/open loop is to do with the ECU using the lambda to control the fueling

Yep , just attach the pipes to the solenoid and let the ECU control boost

If the car hasnt been mapped for UK fuel, ONLY use optimax with octane booster unless you have a knocklink to monitor knock/det

 

so with these to pipes not attached could this be why its only boosting to 0.4 and will i reset my ecu when i put them back on

cheers buddy

 

Yes and yes

 

sweet cheers buddy

 

thanks alot ppl boost back to 0.9 and pulling harder than ever

got there in the end mate
