Ok, so i began to lose turbo boost rather suddenly after doing not much more than 3-400km just lately.
Around 5000km in my $25 ebay BCS seems to have died an aftermarket death that u can expect from a cheap piece of sht part.
I came home off a freeway trip,
Noticing i had less boost in hot weather, heavy black brown smoke is back. Way too much smoke.
Boost.minimising over the day.
By time i got home lucky to make 12psi down from 21.
Now at about 3psi average, 5-8 maybe max, totally consistent with the Boost control solenoid i got had croaked early.
Heres the plan:
@Old.Tony ...
Gday mate, i will switch to a Tillix Valve. Trying what you do.
I actually hate boost control solenoids anyway, the way they decide when they're gonna give me boost on a busy freeway, i need boost on call to stay out of trouble...
Keen to switch to this setup this week!
Can u please provide me any links to threads of where to buy/price/how to fit.
I imagine it isnt hard at all.
I looked them up on ebay and Tillix doesn't come up, but Dawes Valve does.. am i right thinking thats the same thing?
I see they're about $150 for the kit.
I need to fit that in coming week to keep mobile. Will get a few spare bcs too & just keep in glovebox
Seeing how a bcs can be swapped in 5min why not just buy 10 of them lol.
But first foresmost, i want fit this Tillix (or Dawes?) Valve instead.
I think the boost curve would be much more suited to my application.
