I'll be getting one today hopefully
 It holds 6psi all the way thro the range.

Could it be at all possible that it's in a limp mode?

Yeh - the waste gate will work regardless of single or twin mode. Sounds like a limp mode or no wdc

No check engine lights?

I do, but we reprogrammed it and still didn't go away. So we thought it as a fix later problem as the car is running. Plus the car I was using needed to go back. Also the ABS light I on too. Now that I'm saying that I feel kinda stupid haha. Nothing came up on the computer for a problem tho. Any idea on a stock tune this should have? 2003 gen 3 bh it was. It's what we put in for the program tho.

If the check engine light is up I'd be putting money on there being a stored code in there, and it'll be running in limp mode, which means bugga all boost.

Noice. Would like to have a gander in person when shes boosting properly

Well managed to find out the problem. Computer is saying it's the wastegate solenoid A. So now I just have to find out what it is, where it is and fix it haha

[CRUISN]

Bogan spec bonnet was awesome.

 

Thanks for the parts too.

[duncanm]

Passenger fender near the vacuum tank - put it into solenoid click mode (plugs under dash) and make sure its working. Spray carb cleaner through it anyway

I have no idea how I am going to be able to repay all these favours to you. It's been such some amazing help and great advice.

[duncanm]

Ha - no worries. This place helped me out heaps when I did my swap. Just trying to repay the favour.

[Krypton]

I think I need a full day to go thro all the tt threads. Why in over my head. Still have hardly any idea what I'm looking at for fixing the solenoid. Haha should had stuck working on the old xf motor. But I'm still enjoying myself. I'll get there.

[Krypton]

Found the solenoid in the quater just behind the battery in the quater panal. Still looking for the switch under the dash for the click mode. But what am I to listen or look for to see if it's working? And is wd40 ok insted of carb cleaner? Also where do I spray it haha

[Barbbachello]

I believe click mode is connect the two green plugs under the steering wheel together and turn the car on but not start it. The plugs are single wire and should be pretty obvious once you get your head under the dash. It may be different on a TT/gen 3 but someone will know

[Krypton]

Awesome found them they click haha the bbod box on the left and so does the one in the f/l panel. So I take it that it works but that's all I know. Just hard trying to look for all this info with only a phone. Sorry if it's a tread that's easy to find but I am looking haha

[Adam]

No to wd40!

Use the proper stuff

haha no worries, just thought I would ask to save a trip into town. Wouldn't have do e it of nobody said it was ok.

So if it's clicking it must be working, anything els I can do or take a panel of and spray down all the holes coz it might still be gumming up?

Check all the way back down the two vac lines going to it. Just blow down one while clicking and verify its turning on and off properly and not leaking or blocked. Blow carb cleaner through the solenoid and both lines. Watch for any pills (check tt notes, but I don't recall any in those lines)

[Krypton]

Blown down both I don't know how free I'm ment to be able blow. But pritty sure they are blocked if my face went red. So I spose I'll try and clean it out and and if not I'll prob have to get a new one then wouldn't i?

[Morgan]
