Hiya Iain,
I've connected the bottom hose of the boost solenoid via a t-piece into the hose that comes from the induction system and goes to the charcoal cannister. It still has the restricter pill fitted.
I've got a theory tho ............. When i first installed the chip and boost gauge the car was running 0.7 bar. I figured the actuator spring was a bit worn so i tightened the arm a couple of turns until it ran 1 bar. I'm wondering now that if the plastic recirc valve was leaking boost and i tightened the arm to compensate and new valve isn't leaking boost, i'll need to loosen the actuator arm off. Does that sound likely to you ?
Lol Army green FTW
Cheers
Adam
