I've seen this fitted to a few cars now and was wondering how you can up the boost at the touch of a button. I recently bought a bleed valve to do that job but I would like to have have 2 pre set boost settings

Piece of pipe off the 3rd leg on the bleed valve, with a 12v solenoid valve on the end wired to a switch, valve closed it will run actuator boost, flick the switch to open the valve, it will bleed the air off to what ever the bleed valve is set too.

And you will need to fuel for the high boost all the time making it rather rich on low boost Yes i moved to the darkside |

maybe a stupid question but could you run somthing like a modern day "sport" button in the car that is linked to MJ and will change to anoher pre-set map which is designed for the higher boost? The turbo build has finally started |

Nice one, thanks a lot guys. It all makes sense now. Will take a look at Benross HG too... Can't think of a more exciting day out. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Why not wire up the original Metro Turbo solenoid, a simple cockpit mounted switch can open & close it to vary boost. Simple & cheap. |

I have read that the metro turbo valve will only flow enough to bleed of 4psi.

the part throttle will richen up the off-boost/ non full throttle area though, and the metro valve aint bad tbh, mine will go from 4psi- about 8 ish with no restrictor Yes i moved to the darkside |

Metro turbo solenoid will flow plenty, especially if you fit a restrictor in the bleed line.

You can adjust your afr with a pitot tube to correct your fueling, getting rid of the resctrictor ring will also free up a couple of psi.. simple, cheap and efficient tune.

the std metro item only bleeds 4psi. I use to use a few of these for stage boost each one coming on giving me 4psi extra boost, worked well, but they are a bit heavy Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs
