If the Wrangler has no turbo in it to start with, forget it.

Not really, unless you want to tinker with some of the sensors that affect the timing...not recommended.

Re: Problem with stock boost solenoid ! ! ! !

Hmmmm...sorry to hear your troubles are continuing... :( Maybe its the wiring to the boost solenoid. You have tried connecting & disconnecting the wires, attaching resistor to the wires and finally re-installing the solenoid. All with the same result - fuel-cuts continue. Maybe its the wiring to...

Reset your ECU. Instructions can be found in this forum. ECU "remembers" the conditions when the initial fuel-cut happened and replicates them each time when the parameteres are the same. The clicking is the solenoids normal operating noise. By opening & closing the small valve it cont...

It is on the engine side of the turbo's compressor housing - the place the pressure hose leaves the housing. Slightly under the intake resonator box.

You're right - If it is on the same line, the readings will be inaccurate, as some of the pressure will be relieved from the little hole.

Why not install the gauge to the line coming from the turbo "nipple" ?

You can bypass the fuel-cut "phenomena", by making a small (1mm) hole to the pressure regulator vacuum hose. The small ticking "canister" inside the right fender (- about the size of a 35mm film canister.) This is done easiest by installing a plastic connector to the middle of th...

In the Autospeed article "negative boost" the test car was an Audi S4 2,2liter, so the airbox is slightly different, but the synopsis would be as follows. And this is a compilation of the actual Autospeed Article. Key Points: 1. Most of the restriction occurs after the airfilter. 2. As is ...

For success you need a whole front cut with loom, engine, tranny, ECU & million other parts. Even then all wiring doesn't match dashboard.

Good luck.

Depends from the wheels. Be sure you have the correct offset. In Subarus the offset is generally much bigger. In my 215/55/15 Momo's the offset in the wheels is 50 mm.

Dynomax Cats

I just ordered a Dynomax 3" cat-converter from Summitracing (http://www.summitracing.com). Any experiences? They give a 90 day guarantee - whatever that means. I also considerd a Catco cat-converter, which has a 25.000 miles guarantee, but in the end - ended up with dynomax. I'm having a new DP...

Looks like the hesitation has to do with the throttle sensor...or the knocking sensor...so electronic... :twisted: The BIG trouble is, that the ECU remembers the conditions the hesitation occurred the first time - and replicates it every single time the ECUs wiew of the engine looks the same. So, af...
