hi guys ,,,
please i need all your help with this, right went to clean the boost solenoid today and ended up breaking the pipe that comes from the bottom of the solenoid then up to the round thing (orgulater???maybe)ontop of the turbo then i goes into a tea then to the inlet manifold . replaced the pipe with 1 from wilcos slightly diffrent digameter inside .now i only pulling 7psi -instead of the normal 12-14psi . is this due to the new pipe oviously being to small inside and where can i get one of these pipes from .....by the way car is my97 uk 2000turbo standard ............my fault for having sausage fingers

i explained this to someone earlier he had replaced all his boost pipes with new blue one's and lost his boost and he hadnt put in the restrictor pill, the pill goes inside the pipe that comes off your compressor housing just before the t-peice once he had put it back in his car boosted fine again

hi mate yeah i found the little bugger in the end and in the bin and boost is back but boosting slightly more only slightly tho, car seams to idle just a fraction lower aswell maybe this is due to the new pipes or just the fact i cleaned the boost solenoid out. still got this hesitation/slight miss under light throttle or somtimes maintaning speed but when i boot it no prob at all ......gona try cleaning the idle air control valve (if dont break that aswell lol) only if any1 can explan where it is or show me a pic pls and is this ok to clean with wd40 or break n cluch cleaner . thankyou guys for all your time especaly you steve you are a great help

Yeah cleaning the BCS will not of hurt. Tickover/idle should be approx 1200rpm at cold and 800rpm when warmed up. If your idle is steady then i can't see cleaning IACV will change anything as far as the miss in concerned.
