Aftermarket BOV? Want Free Boost? Turbosocks Hack!
3
sorry the title should be 3psi! :cool2:
try TEE'ing off vacuum line from the throttle body. Thanks to turbosocks for this brilliant idea.
this morning i was peaking 16.5psi few days ago(same setup) now just by tapping the vacuum/boost line right at the throttle, i'm peaking at 19.4psi!!!
wow what a difference. FREE HORSEPOWER? what can you lose?
unhooked both hose from solenoid and hooked up the top hose from the T.
i don't know all the dimensions bc i had these parts laying around the garage but universal T, Vacuum Line, and Clamps Can be had at advance auto parts easy
at first, computer didn't know and it peaked at 21.5psi and put the car in limp mode...but after a quick restart...smooth!
EDIT By Turbosocks:
What you will need if you do not want to cut the line: (Keep in mind, waiting on my MAP flange will give almost the same result)
small piece of 5/16" vacuum hose
5/16"-5/16"-1/8" tee
~2 feet or so of 1/8" vacuum line to connect the BOV to the tee
about 20 minutes or less of your time

i understand that, however other people will be able to make a better informed decision if you get logs toothis is the internet. readers make their own educated decision
AFRs are hardly affected. Still in the <11:1 from 4900-6750rpm. 5600-redline is <10.3:1
However, I have to look at some old logs to check out the timing on WOT runs and compare them to older logs that I have just to make sure. I just want to make sure that the timing looks around the same. Since this is only peaking slightly higher than stock, I can't see there being that much of a change into 'dangerous' territory or even borderline into feeling uneasy, specially with our ultra conservative stock tune.
Between both of my logs, boost was settling down around 14lbs.
Obviously, going by pressure alone means nothing as the effect of weather and DA will be different all over the country slightly.
EDIT:
Here are a couple logs: One on left is from January pre-Magnaflow and solenoid bypass. One in the middle is the other day after Magnaflow and solenoid bypass. The one on the far right another post Magnaflow/solenoid bypass with some graphs.

Don't take too much weight on slight variations in timing from log to log as the weather was quite different in each log. In one log, it was January, in another it was actually raining and the other was dry outside and warmer.
You can also see around where third gear tops out At 80+ mph.
