hey , what about using a idle bypass solenoid from a commodore throttle body to controll boost? it has a stepper type motor on it so it can be adjusted finely, this might be better than using the old brass needle valve setup,,,, ( i`m using this set up at the mo)
i heard about putting a cannister ( aerosol can) some where in the acutator line... how do i do this? and exactly what does this do? mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "LIEBIG, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 10:46 AM Subject: RE: Exhaust sizes (HELP) > Andrew, > > Ahh, the people you run into on the Ozdat list eh! > > GT25 is going well.
