Dumb question for the gurus
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys! this will probably sound dumb to the turbo gurus on here but here goes:

I just got a metro turbo cheap as fluff and am using it as my daily smoker at the mo (might make a fast mini in the future tho)
If im right the tro only makes 4 psi untill certain revs then it goes to 7 psi.
This is controlled by a solenoid next to the fpr.
It has two wires from the ecu and a hose from the actuator running to it.
Im wanting to run full boost all the time so do i :

remove both wires?

leave them connected and block the hose off?

Remove wires and block hose?

Give up and slash my wrists?

If this is wrong please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance :cool:

Easiest trick of all (i remember) is to put a clamp on the pipe going to the ECU. That way, it just bleeds off to 7psi all the time.

It's a LONG time ago i messed with a metro, so don't quote me on that.
Otherwise, just pull off one of the wires to the solenoid, and fit a bleed valve in the pipe to the solenoid.
