Brian888 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ok so car had been overboosting. All usual stuff checked and seems ok then found the wastegate vsv solenoid isn't working at all. It's bypassed and is now holding around 1-1.1 bar as before was 1.3 and upwards in high gear. Please excuse my ignorance in this area but is it safe enough to now leave as is or best to replace the valve? And will replacing the valve increase the boost? Car is jspec auto bpu. Thanks.

Swampy442 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Depends on what you want really. Are you happy at 1.1bar? But any way you look at it the valve is broken and needs to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian888 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Yea 1.1 is more than enough. I was just curious as to how it's working ok now without the valve in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Its a simple 1 way valve, voltage is applied and it closes to open the wastegate, the who's system is like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
