Is Turbo Boost enabled by default?

How can I enable or disable IntelĀ® Turbo Boost Technology ? Intel Turbo Boost Technology is enabled by default on supported processors. You can disable or enable the technology with a switch in the BIOS. No other user-controllable settings to change Intel Turbo Boost Technology operation are available.

Where can I buy a new boost solenoid?

For folks with a high mileage car and a solenoid that has never been cleaned, maybe the best option is to buy a new solenoid rather than try to clean a dirty one. At least one person has already done this by the looks of it. No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Location: Blacktown!

Can a boost solenoid cut fuel and ignition?

As I understand it, the ECU has the ability to cut fuel and/or ignition to the engine if you’re getting too much boost (I.e. the wastegate has failed). If what you say is true, and that cleaning the boost solenoid “increases power”, then the only conclusions I can come to are thus:

What does the solenoid do for the wastegate?

The solenoid is a boost controller in simple terms. It controls when and how much the wastegate actuator opens. If the solenoid is sticky it will not open as quickly or early as it should It doesn’t. Mine has never been done, and I don’t suffer from delayed boost. I might go do some before and after logging on the boost control and play Mythbuster.

What does it mean when your Turbo Boost is low?

If the boost is low, it is a sign there might be a leak in the system. If the boost is slow to build, it could be a sign there might be an issue with the wastegate or bypass leaking.

What should I do if my Turbo overboost is not working?

An OBD tester is very useful because you can ask the computer to run the solenoid while watching the actuator. If this does not work, then you either have a bad actuator or valves stuck in the turbo. If you can get your hands on a vacuum pump, attach it to the drive and see if it is in a vacuum. If you do not buy a new actuator.
