I was reading about boost control and found this idea
I don't think I'd try this, but I thought I'd share what I read
This book I have on forced-induction motors......the chapter on boost control, there is a short write-up on a cheap (!) boost control.
In the hose that runs from compressor housing to stock solenoid (where some guys install the 3/16), using a hot pin-vise or needle, bore a .020-.040" hole thru the plastic coupler so it will vent a small amount of signal to stock solenoid to the atmosphere, thereby "delaying" signal to solenoid and delaying wastegate.
Sounds like holed-pistons to me, but has anybody else heard of this??
Or relocating the source for boost signal from compressor to intake manifold??
Like I said, I'm not advocating this......just wondering. I'm not trying it.
