Hi
i have a 98 uk turbo and for a while now i have had boost probs. Basically the car dosent run like it use to, feels flat and poor boost. It also will get to around 4500-5500rpm and the boost pressure will drop to 0 on the gauge from around 12-14psi.
i have had the actuator changed, dump valve checked, MAF replaced, pipes checked and nothing has helped.
I have read that the boost solenoid can be the culprit some times. I have also read that it should only click on boost, is this right?? Mine will start to click as soon as the revs start to go up and some times will continue to click when you turn the car off, especially when cold.
Do my problems sound anything like it could be the solenoid??
Its going into interpro tomorow so will see, jus wanted to see what you guys thought.

Cheers

 

have you tried running the solinoid on test mode possibly clean it and the pipes if its been over filled in the past

 

you could try borrow somones solinoid just to rule that out if its not that thats what iv done at the moment im also having boost issues you could look at my post on this page and you might get some ideas steven

 

yeh i connected the green plugs and it clicks like it should.
i was going to take it off and clean it but seein as its going to the garage tomorow i will let them do it.
