On the hillclimber I have a switch on the gearstick that detects first (and maybe second) gear. This activates a solenoid that drops the boost.

I thought the solenoid was just an on/off thing on the metty I would have expected so - but I must stress I don't know, never seen one, but from its age, probably. If it was a modern PWM modulating valve you would need to know the PWM frequency to enter into MS anyway to get it to work best. For the MS boost control, an Amal valve from a Cossie is probably the cheapest UK option, you can get them on eBay for less than £8 if you bide your time :) Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

I think the solenoid valve on the Metro was PWM, remember the ECU had a MAP sensor on board, and also a revs input from the coil.

Fair point Tom, like I say I've never seen one, just surprised for that age.

I use a Saab valve (because I have one) but they seem a bit expensive on ebay

they would be good but you would have to hold the button in, not ideal.

I have two Metty turbo boost solenoid valves with the wires and connectors intact.
Edited by turbominivanman on 27th Sep, 2011. Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
