Turbo question

[wessexrfc]

My garage has now fitted my 28 turbos and I was told by Trevor to "electronically disconnect the boost solenoid on the manifold. This will put it running in wastegate mode" so would be ok to drive up for remap. In laymens terms, does this mean electrically disconnect wires to solenoid rather than plug into laptop and disconnect??

Just pull the plug off of the boost control solenoid.

Thanks Mike, sounds like the lads have beaten us to it and had disconnected the solenoid.

That's how you get switchable boost Paul , fit a switch in the red wire line to the boost control switch .

Is it really that simple? Looks like I've found a use for that extra switch on the dash at last.

I seem to have a switch that doesn't do a lot. Is this normal on a 3R?

Yep switch is redundant as standard, Some say that it was going to be a Hi/Lo boost switch and then Noble decided not to fit it.
People have used it to what they felt best.
Some have wired it as a Hi/Lo.
Mine turns on the gearbox pump.

And theres me thinking that Kevins ingenious use of the horn button to use as high and low boost was something to behold, a wiring and engineering master piece!!! I think the question Kevin asked before we left the pit at Silverstone was, "high or low boost Paul" I laughed, then grinned all the way!!

Pleased you enjoyed low boost Paul & good luck with your dyno session with Trevor.

That was low boost !!!! I feel betrayed lol, how the fk do you put the power with 600 mules, carefully I would emagine Now the turbos are fitted, can't wait to get the thing remapped. Quite impressed with the power it still has on low boost.

Thanks Funky. I had been wondering about that switch.
