I installed the IR boost control solenoid yesterday and got it set up. I made a small bracket out of aluminum stock to mount it to the radiator. It is working good, and is at about 16psi at 45% duty cycle. It is hooked up using both the top/bottom ports. My only concern is how tolerant these solenoids are to heat. I like where it is mounted to keep the hose lengths down, but it will obviously get heated up by the radiator/hose. It is not physically touching anything other than the fan mount tab where I secured the bracket.

The brass/rubber hoses and clamp setup may be temporary. I will probably switch to the polyehtylene tubing push-to-connect fittings for a cleaner look.





I also installed the chipped TCU and de-wired my old shift box. The shifts feel good but I think I have a 1-2 engagement issue that could be a sticky valve or kick-down band that needs to be adjusted.

Other than that I am going to finish wiring up the tranny cooler fan to run off the foglamp switch. Right now it comes on with the lights on only. I am going to re-wire it so I can turn it on independent of the lights.

I develped a small leak from the turbo side of the TiAL wastegate. I currently am not using gaskets but it looks like I need to. I will be ordering a few on Monday.

There is just under 1000 miles on it now and hopefully soon-ish I can convert to E85 and turn it up!
