boost solinoid mod
 
did this mod by drilling a 3mm hole in to the pipe on the solinoid it was the one that went to the actuator mine has only 2 pipes that go onto the solinoid as i was drilling it it went thru the other side:brickwall dont think this is right is it guys what can i use just to fill the hole back up:confused:

Boost solenoid mod:confused: Sounds more like, boost solenoid murder :lol1:
Where you drilling the rubber/silicon pipe or the metal pipe that is part of the solenoid its self, and what did/do you expect to gain??:freak3:

i was drilling the metal bit on the solenoid you are expected to gain more power heard people on here on about it

The only drilling i am aware of in connection with the BCS is that of the brass restrictor pill:confused: . If you drill a hole in the pipe going to the wastegate this will only give you uncontrolled overboost as the wastegate will not recieve the pressure to open it :wonder:

this guy told me about it when i was asking about cleaning the solenoid it has worked i can feel more boost its just i drilled all the way thro and dont think i needed to so i repaired the hole and it seems to work
what he said,


Whilst you got it off why don't you do the boost mod and drill out the solinoid I think I used a 3mm dia drill this will increase spool up and should give you 2-3psi more boost!

One of the best mods I made as it was free and what a difference it made!

The standard boost solinoid is very restrictive!
