It looks like a relai inside you have a coil which when activate open a valve to release the presure from the wastgate actuator so he doesn't open a until the ecu wants to!
if it doesn't work (ECU safety, damaged loom or lectron valve) the presure remain the one preseted in the actuator about 1bar...
so i need to check the amal valve then???? worth a try after calling a few tuners today i have come to the conclusion that the car is prob setup for a chip and it has been removed but the car is not here atm but i will check it this weekend... i have the std blk small turbo injectors but am unsure whether the fuel pump is upgraded which is hard to check.... also need to see if the map sensor has been upgraded????
so if someone can gimme a no off a 3 bar map sensor presume they must be the same i can see if its a std item or not??
but i think i shall just return the boost to std as it seems its not running std boost atm which is causing the overboost???
correct me if i'm wrong guys
also if someone could tell me where the amal valve is situated on the small turbo as i have a k+n fitted and i old fez rs had one so i know wot they look like just need to know where i'm looking
