I have been looking for information on where about and how to clean the boost solenoid on a Blobeye STi. I can't find much info about how to do it on a newage, so I just wondering whether or not it need cleaning like on the classic. thx

 

no one at all??

 

Hi mate, you can purge it, which will clean it.
Connect the green conectors under the dash and switch your ignition on and you will hear it clean itself.

 

Use brake cleaner, this has always worked for me plus it evapourates in seconds

 

I did mine recently (05 wrx) using the green connectors. Disconnect the hoses from the solenoid, remembering where they go and then turn ignition on (not starting the engine..!) and squirt some brake/carb cleaner into the ports. Have solenoid sitting on a rag to catch over spill..

Allow to run a few seconds longer, without any cleaner. Turn ignition off and reconnect hoses, job done.

Idle control valve can be done in the same way. See NASIOC for very concise guide.

 

I use Carb Cleaner made by Comma and works a treat.

 

is there a guide for this for the bug eye sti? as i have looked but haven't been able to find 1

 

^^^

as far as I'm aware the bug should be the same as the blob. Therefore the boost solenoid is attached to the front of the drivers side suspension turret via a thin black metal bracket.

Clean as above.

thanks everybody for the replies, as always on this forum. I think I will give it a go this weekend
