Boost Control Solenoid
 
It seems a lot of people are lookin for info about this boost bypass trick.. why not put it in the techinfo with pics for series I and series II with pics to location of which plug to pull off from and which one to plug it to. This would help as I"m lookin to do this to mine, but my series II are having issues locatin which to which.. but thats another story. I'm suggesting this as a lot of the forced induction posts are in regards to this.. and I for one am guilty of it. :wink:

Murdock, I'm passing this off to the Gearheads. Have patience....many of them are involved in the Bfests. Damn good idea, :canada:.

:wink: glad you like it. And you thought the only good thing to come out of :canada: is beer, igloos, safety dogs, cheaper shopping area and pot :lol:

I Will be sending pics to JWK as to where it would be for me to hook this up on my series II and I will contribute those pics too. ( providing it's also ok with JWK as it's he's guidance that will be gettin me there )

So this should be it right??

And nothing should be used to clog the other hole? ( On the round canister wastegate doo hickey? )

Now you've got the right idea. But do not plug the other hole, you can put a light foam filter of some sort on it, if you like.

done.. wow.. seem to hold boost better.. but notice it feels a lil slight jerkiness during accelaration.. but that can just be the roads or needing a tune up.. k.. will take a pic of it done.. is there certain size I should put the pics to?

I must have missed something...
What's the purpose of the boost bypass trick?
