Default Boost Solenoid Bypass

Jeff'* bypass trick works like a hot damn.
No more drop in boost during full throttle acceleration runs.
So easy and the hose only cost .50 cents

No codes set either.

Way cool. I've got my new pulley on now.....I'm hitting about 12psi regularly (my torque converter doesn't like it).....but I'm not seeing the dropout. I'm assuming my Jet chip is preventing the overboost protection.

Jeffery, how did you get the 95 TB to work properly?

Hey Jeff...what'* this over boost trick I am reading about...Let me in on it...

hey will, what kind of signs do you have that tells you the torque converter doesnt like the pulley? Is it a ticking or a rapping when you pin the pedal? I get that often since I put the pulley on

All that, and my TC was slipping a bit before I ever did the pulley. My tranny is coming out before the year is over.
