Solenoid bypass

[Whatsthestorey]

I just got a 96 Glanza turbo. It is limited to low boost in first and second gear when on high boost.

I've read up on the solenoid bypass, but also hear it means the low boost setting is not available after this. I don't mind as most wouldn't, loosing the low boost setting but my mate had a 99 Glanza which boosted high in first an second gear but the low boost setting still worked.

Can anyone tell me how this can be all he had was a boost gauge, exhaust and filter as upgrades.

Also is it safe to bypass. Does the actuator still do its job with the bypass because I've heard that it can stop it working an cause air back flow through the turbo.

One more thing my mates Glanza and a few I've driven had a dump valve sound even tho the was no after market dump valve installed, mine doesn't have this sound.

Any help would be great

Cheers ye I don't hav a fcd. How bad is fuel cut for the car. If it cuts would it be best to reconnect the solenoid?

[akyakapotter]

If you have an fcd it shouldn't hit fuel cut at all bud you'll love it with no restriction

Just realised you don't have one it may be alright you'll soon no if you do hit it

I never really hit fuel cut with the bypass on my v unless I was in 5 crusin and went down a gear to go after sumthin and put the foot down it was fuckin well annoying lol

It's a free mod and free mods are the best

U mean 5th gear ye? Might e a silly question but I've never hit fuel cut. I'm assuming the engine cuts due to not enough fuel supply and it means simply just startin the car again ye?

[Whitenoize]

Yes mate I was on about 5th to 4th gear to chase after sumthin the engine don't cut out but you can't go any harder you would know if you'd hit fuel cut before the dreaded fuel cut lol you engine goes doooom and you freak out and slow down haha this is the best discription I can giv you of fuel cut maybe other members can explain a bit more

[akyakapotter]

When you hit fuel cut its like driving into a wall and it pops and bangs lol

[Whitenoize]

It's horrible isnt it haha

[akyakapotter]

If you don't no what it is then yes I laughed because I was popping like mad but I'm a big kid lol
