Re[4]: Lack of Boost, '88 5ktq
Doyt,
Ignore my comments to you this morning about clamping the wastegate
hose. I repeated this today at lunch, instead of using vice grips to
pinch the hose going to the top of the wastegate (hey I thought it was
a good idea at the time) I diconnected it completely and plugged both
the end of the line and the connector on the wastegate. Hey presto
5-6psi in 2nd gear, on the short chance I had to test at lunch I was
getting 6-7psi in 3rd with WOT.
Conclusion: my low boost problem is related to the way the
ECU/Frequency valve is controlling the wastegate. Thank goodness, it's
probably something electrical :}
Give me a soldering iron a couple of resistors and LEDs, some more
wiring through the firewall, Scott M's MAC-11 pin out off his web page
which is at:-

and I should be able to get it sussed.
Thanks for all the inputs, regards, Mike
