Removing factory boost control sol.

[tta583]

Does anyone here have any idea on this? I posted over in general tech and did not get a good solid answer. I could always just run the car and see, but frankly it is apart right now. I am trying to avoid figuring this out at the last minute before a huge local show that is comming up.

First of all, if you're using a Thrasher chip the Wastegate error is disabled. If you're using another chip it could be disabled there as well. The only way to tell for sure is to disconnect it and see if you get a code 31. (Or if you can look at the chip's binary file, check location $3FE. A data value of 00 causes the check for a Wastegate malfunction, any data value other than 00 disables the error check.)

If your chip IS checking for this error then with the solenoid disconnected, a commanded duty cycle of 5 - 94% for >2 seconds will set the error code.

Hope this helps. Good luck at the show.

Thanks! That is exactly what I needed to know. I do run a thrasher so I should be covered.

Thanks again!
