this mornin i took out the solinoid box with the intention of cleaning it and around it. one thing i noticed was my boost gauge is piped into hose 12, is this the right hose?
the only reason i ask is i read somewhere ages ago that it should go onto no11. as far as i know the boost gauge is workin fine but only when the car is moving. if i rev the engine when stationary it moves a bit but settles again. is this the norm or should i be looking into this further.
have to say cleaning the solinoid box was handy. but what i cant understand is why they have the hoses going into the solinoid box the way it is. the hoses from the engine side connect onto a set of plastic nipples mounted to the solinoid box which mirror a set of niples on the internal side of the box. these could be easlily damaged or broken and seems pointless to me as they are just sraight trough connectors. i can only think that its doen that way to make taking out the solinoid box easier.
anyway if ye have any imput on the boost gauge thing let me know
