can anyone tell me how the safety boost works, ie is is entirely controlled by the ecu or is there a solenoid etc. thanks.
safety boost yes its controlled by the ECU.it can enter safety for any number of reasons, most commonly here its either detonation or failure of the sensor.if you in safety mode best put the ECU into diganostics mode.best info on this can be found in the service manual. avalible online , i belive its listed in links. or do a search on this forum . there plenty of people that have posted info about this in the past.
Ecu controlls the solenoid... to enter safety boost. If there is detonation, or the sensor fails then the ECU retards timing and simultaneously reduces boost pressure through the solenoid. Yours cant reduce boost pressure in this way as the solenoids are unattached. As I said I dont think your problem is safety boost.
thanks thanks madmacka and zisluv i was just asking the question as a friend is coming over this arvo to have a look at it and he told me to ask that question. all i want is to be able to red line the car thanks again...
Have a read of this........>> From the FAQ, "What is Safety Boost". It doesn't mention in the article that a faulty Temp sensor can fool the ECU into thinking it is cold and dropping the car into safety boost.
IVE FIXED IT THANKS ALL THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN REPLYING TO MY POSTS,TURNED OUT IT WAS THE AIR FLOW METER WOOHOOO I CAN REV IT AGAIN...
